Saudi Arabia Dammam Treasure Travel Guide Remember to Save

[Love] Preliminary preparation
You can apply for a Saudi Arabia tourist visa. You need to prepare a passport with a validity period of more than 6 months, a visa application form, photos and other materials, and submit them online or at a designated visa center. Daman has a desert climate with extremely hot summers. We recommend visiting from October to March of the following year when the climate is mild and comfortable.

[CarFront] Traffic Guide
International flights can arrive in Riyadh first and then transfer to Dammam. If you are departing from other cities in Saudi Arabia, you can take a bus, which takes about 6 hours from Riyadh; you can also choose to rent a car and drive yourself, which is convenient and flexible. For travel within the city, taxis are convenient but remember to negotiate the price; bus routes are limited; if you want a deeper experience, you can rent a bicycle.

[Rainbow] Check-in at tourist attractions
King Abdulaziz Center for World Culture: The building has a strong sense of design and looks like a giant stone. It integrates a theater, library, museum, etc., displaying Saudi Arabia's historical culture and modern development. There are also interactive activities for children. You can take a 30-minute guided tour to get a full picture.

Daman Beach: stretches for several kilometers, with fine sand and clear water. In the evening, the afterglow of the setting sun shines on the sea, making the waves sparkle. The seafood skewers at the surrounding snack stalls are fresh and delicious and should not be missed.

Al Fahad Fort: Built in the early 20th century, it was once a defensive fortress. Standing on the fortress, you can overlook the city scenery and feel the weight of history. It is a window to understand Saudi history.

Dammam Cultural Village: showcases Saudi traditional architecture, handicrafts and folk performances. Visitors can wear traditional costumes, take photos and immerse themselves in the local culture.

[IceCream] Food Exploration

Daman has rich food. Shawarma is a popular dish. It is grilled meat with vegetables, sauces and rolled in flatbread. It is very satisfying after one bite. Kabsa is the perfect combination of rice and grilled meat. The rice absorbs the aroma of the meat and the grilled meat is tender and juicy. There is also grilled seafood. Freshly caught sea fish, shrimps and crabs are delicious when simply grilled and paired with special dipping sauces, which is unforgettable.

[Trunk] Accommodation Recommendations
If you have enough budget, you can choose Sheraton Dammam Hotel, which enjoys sea view and luxurious facilities. If you are looking for cost-effectiveness, you can consider Dammam Economy Hotel, which is conveniently located, clean and tidy, and meets basic needs.
