Al Khobar is a city in the Eastern Province and one of the three core cities that make up the Dammam metropolitan area; Dammam and Dhahran are the other two. Its unique location on the Arabian Gulf coast gives it a considerably long coastline and panoramic sea views.
Al Khobar is a primarily residential city, somewhat like a resort town, unlike the other Dammam metropolitan area cities that are predominantly industrial. It is, therefore, one of the best cities to stay for an Eastern Province vacation, just as it is the best base for those who may be in the area for business but are travelling with their families.
There are many things to see and do in Al Khobar. At the top of the list is the King Fahd Causeway, a 15-mile-long series of bridges traversing the Arabian Gulf connecting Saudi Arabia (particularly Khobar) with Bahrain. Naturally, the coastal road (i.e., Khobar Corniche) is a must-visit for its spectacular views and many attractions, including the Khobar Sea Front, the Khobar Corniche Mosque, the Khobar Water Tower, and the Prince Sultan Science & Technology Center.
There are plenty of Khobar hotels where you and your family can stay. Cheap hotels in Al Khobar include private residences rented out to tourists (e.g., Mkani Apartments) and small inns that provide no-frills accommodation (e.g., JW Inn Hotel and Villa Park).
