Al Khobar

Al-Khobar, is a large city located in the Eastern Province of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia on the coast of the Persian Gulf. Al-Khobar was a small port on the Gulf, a fishing village inhabited mainly by Al Dawasir tribe members. It was transformed with the discovery of oil in the 1930s into a major commercial and shopping center and an industrial port. Al-Khobar has transformed and extended its water front along the Gulf into a scenic Beirut-like corniche with parks, eateries and family beaches, making it one of the most iconic features of the city.
