Dammam is a port city located just on the Gulf of Basra, east of Saudi Arabia. In the city rich of oil, the industry is also highly developed. Due to its proximity to major cities and the ease of transportation, it is known as an important transfer point. There are two important things that you should not forget that you will visit Dammam.
The first is the fact that the country is being ruled by rigid Muslim rules and that the visitors are expected to act with respect these and the second is that the temperature is very high without any significant difference in summer and winter. The most common means of transportation in the city center are taxis. There is no taximeter in the taxis. Although it is a specific tariff of the routes, the fares are more subject to bargaining. You must agree with the driver about the place you will go and how much it costs definitely before you take the taxi.
Buses are used in the city as a means of public transport. These vehicles, which are quite old and crowded, are not preferred by tourists. Car rental is a more preferred alternative. There are numerous car rental companies in both the city center and the airport.
Dammam is the second largest port in Saudi Arabia. Both ship trips and fish and freight transportation are organized from King Abdulaziz Harbor. The highways are quite developed in Dammam. In addition to a route to the capital Riyadh, many other countries in the region are also connected to the highways.
You can reach Bahrain in just 1 hour and Riyadh in 4 hours by car. If you have not rented a car, you can catch the buses leaving from the main bus terminal, which is about 700 meters from the city center.
As you can provide your intercity transfers with these buses, there are also 5 bus services every day from the bus station to Bahrain.
The railway system has an important place in the city. In addition to intercity passenger transport by train, cargo transportation is also being carried out. A project that will link Dammam to Mecca and Medina is in preparation.
The train station is 8 kilometers from the city center. From there you can reach Riyadh in 3 and half hours, Hofuf in 1 hour and Abqaiq in 40 minutes.
