Introducing Eastern Province

The Eastern Province is the centre of Saudi Arabia’s colossal oil industry and, as such, you’re more likely to live and work here than to visit. The province boasts the longest history of Westerners living and working in Saudi Arabia, and the sprawling satellite towns of Dammam, Al-Khobar and Dhahran are prosperous and relatively liberal.

Despite the modernity, the desert is never far away and rarely more enchanting than the Bedouin market of Nairiyah and the oasis town of Al-Hofuf.
