Dammam possesses the qualities of scarcity, originality and wealth, which made it the pearl of the Arabian Gulf. Its strategic location in the eastern region is of great importance to the economy of Saudi Arabia, as it includes the first oil well that produced promising commercial quantities that allowed Saudi Arabia to lead the scene of global oil markets to this day. The well was named “Al-Khair Well,” aka Dammam Well No. 7.

The city combines renewed modern destinations and originality in its local markets adorned with exquisite traditional crafts, such as weaving, pottery and wicker making. On its beaches, you will also discover the pleasure of refreshing summer activities and interesting cruises.

Dammam residents are characterized by a friendly nature and cultural openness due to their city’s location on the Gulf. Since 1986, King Fahd Causeway has been connecting Dammam and Bahrain and is a gateway for communication and cultural integration.
