King Abdulaziz Center for World Culture (Ithra)
Start your tour with a visit to the iconic King Abdulaziz Center for World Culture, also known as Ithra, located in Dhahran. Rising 90 meters above the desert, this futuristic landmark was built by Saudi Aramco and inaugurated by King Salman bin Abdulaziz in 2016. Inside, it hosts a museum, library, art galleries, and interactive exhibits that celebrate global and Saudi heritage. Take your time to explore or enjoy a photo stop in front of its striking architecture.
Alfan Sharqy Urban Art District
Continue to Bayoniya, the historic neighborhood in Al Khobar that was transformed into a living gallery in 2018. Local Saudi artists covered the old buildings with colorful murals, abstract calligraphy, and creative street art as part of the Alfan Sharqy (Art is Eastern) initiative. Walk through these art-filled lanes and discover how the area reflects the modern cultural movement in Saudi Arabia.
Al Khobar Corniche
End your tour with a relaxing stop at the Al Khobar Corniche, a picturesque waterfront promenade overlooking the Arabian Gulf. On clear days, you can see the King Fahd Causeway stretching across the sea to Bahrain. Take photos, enjoy the sea breeze, or simply relax before returning to the port.
Return to Port
After your sightseeing, your driver will take you back to Dammam Port in comfort.
