Eastern Province

Saudi Arabia's largest province, where Persian Gulf coastal cities sit alongside the World Heritage Al-Ahsa Oasis.

Eastern Province lies in eastern Saudi Arabia on the Persian Gulf and is the center of the country's oil industry. Dammam, Khobar and Dhahran form a coastal urban cluster: Khobar's waterfront corniche is good for strolling, and Dhahran's King Abdulaziz Center for World Culture is a modern architectural landmark. Inland, the Al-Ahsa Oasis has vast date palm groves and is a World Heritage site. The weather is fairly pleasant from November to March. King Fahd International Airport is the main air gateway, and the King Fahd Causeway links the region to Bahrain.
