Dammam Corniche
كورنيش الدمام
A seaside promenade in northern Dammam, lined with lawns, playgrounds, and a fishing boat harbor. It is more down-to-earth than Khobar and suits an evening stroll.
The Dammam Corniche extends several kilometers along the Arabian Gulf and is the main leisure spot for the city's residents. Along the way you'll find green spaces, walking paths, children's playgrounds, and seaside restaurants. At the northern end, traditional wooden dhows are moored, and the Dammam fish market is nearby. A short bridge leads to Marjan Island. On weekend evenings, local families picnic on the grass, and the atmosphere is relaxed. Entry is free. In summer the daytime heat is intense, so it's best to go after sunset. It is about 25 km from Khobar, roughly a 25-minute drive.
