Introducing Dammam
The run-down provincial capital, Dammam, is the longest settled and largest town of the Dhahran–Dammam–Khobar group, but it nonetheless has the feeling of a town whose time has passed. The town is home to enormous populations of immigrant Asians – in the centre it can be hard to imagine that you’re in Saudi Arabia at all.

Central Dammam spreads south of the intersection between King Abdul Aziz and 11th Sts.
There are plenty of banks and reasonably priced internet cafés. Sharkiya Internet Café(off King Saud St; per hr SR4; 6am-1am) is for men only; it’s behind Safari Al-Danah Hotel. The main post office is on 9th St.
