Dhahran

Saudi Arabia
Someday we will visit Dhahran or begin to dream about going there! However, for now its not on our radar. Let us know in the comments if you think that should change!

Dhahran

Dhahran is in the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia.

Dhahran is a short distance west of downtown Khobar. It is about 15 kilometres (9.3 mi) south of Dammam. Both are older Saudi port cities on the coast of the Persian Gulf. Looking farther afield, Dhahran is northeast of Abqaiq, and southeast of Qatif and, further north, Ras Tanura, a major oil port. The Kingdom of Bahrain is also within easy driving distance to the east (about 32 km [20 mi]), across the King Fahd Causeway, from Khobar.

Dhahran was settled after 1938, the year oil was discovered in the vicinity.
