Sultan bin Abdulaziz Science & Technology Center (Scitech)
مركز سلطان بن عبدالعزيز للعلوم والتقنية (سايتك)
An interactive science museum on the Khobar waterfront with aerospace, human body, and energy galleries and a dome theater. It suits a family half-day outing.
The Prince Sultan bin Abdulaziz Science and Technology Center (Scitech) is located on the north side of the Khobar Corniche. It is one of the larger science centers in Saudi Arabia. Its galleries cover aerospace, the mysteries of the human body, the ocean, physics, and energy, with many hands-on interactive exhibits. There is also a planetarium and a dome theater, which costs extra. Admission is relatively cheap, and it is popular with families on weekends and during school holidays. Allow 2 to 3 hours, and it can be combined with the Khobar Water Tower and the Corniche. Opening hours vary by season, and Friday often opens only in the afternoon, so check before you go.
