About

The Arabian Gulf coast of the Eastern Province, with coral reefs, traditional pearl-diving heritage and modern marine and beach destinations.

Saudi Arabia’s Arabian Gulf coast, in the Eastern Province around Dammam, Al Khobar and Jubail, combines coral reefs and warm shallow waters with a deep maritime tradition. The historic pearl-diving culture of the Gulf shaped towns along this coast for centuries before the oil era.

Today the coast offers marine activities, family beach destinations and visitor centres. This page presents the area as a cultural and natural region; specific marine activities are run by licensed operators. Experience availability and details may vary by season and provider. Please verify before planning your visit.

Opening hours, ticket prices and access rules may change. Please verify details from the official source before planning your visit.
