Dammam, Saudi Arabia: A Modern Port City on the Eastern Shore of the Gulf
Dammam is the capital of Saudi Arabia's Eastern Province, located on the western shore of the Persian Gulf, and together with neighboring Dhahran and Al Khobar constitutes one of the largest metropolitan areas in Saudi Arabia. As a major economic center and the headquarters of Saudi Aramco, the world's largest oil company, Dammam is an important hub for trade between Saudi Arabia and the Gulf region.
Urban Development and Economic Status
Dammam has the largest commercial port in Saudi Arabia, King Fahd Port, which is responsible for most of the country's import and export cargo transportation. The city's economy is centered on the oil industry, with financial, logistics and manufacturing industries also developing. Modern amenities such as the Dammam Esplanade and Fahd Park demonstrate the city's rapid development, while traditional bazaars (such as the Gold Market) retain their Arab cultural character.
Transportation and Regional Influence
Dammam is well connected to major cities such as Riyadh and Jeddah through King Fahd International Airport and the railroad network. Its strategic location makes it a trade bridge between the GCC countries. In recent years, the city has been actively promoting tourism and developing coastal recreational programs to attract tourists to experience the Persian Gulf.
