FULL ITINERARY
Ship Arrival
Meet your professional guide from Shore Excursions Asia at Dammam Port to begin your Dammam shore excursions. This half-day tour introduces you to the vibrant modern city of Dammam and offers insight into its transformation from a quiet fishing village to a thriving industrial and cultural hub.
City Introduction
As you travel through the city, your guide will share stories of Dammam’s incredible rise after the discovery of oil in 1938. The city’s skyline and infrastructure reflect the rapid modernization that defines much of today’s Saudi Arabia.
Share Al-Hob Market
Your first stop is Share Al-Hob, known locally as the “Love Market.” The origin of its name remains a mystery, but its charm lies in its maze of traditional shops offering jewelry, carpets, artwork, and antiques. Take time to browse, bargain, and perhaps bring home a souvenir that captures the essence of local craftsmanship.
Dammam Corniche Drive
Continue along the scenic Dammam Corniche, a waterfront promenade lined with gardens, cafés, and family gathering spots. Stop for photos at key landmarks along the Arabian Gulf, where locals jog, fish, or simply enjoy the sea breeze. The Corniche embodies everyday life in Dammam and is one of the city’s most beloved leisure areas.
Return to Port
After your exploration, relax as you are driven back to Dammam Port, taking with you a deeper understanding of this fast-growing coastal city.
