📍 Destination Overview
Al Khobar is a modern city on the Persian Gulf in Saudi Arabia's Eastern Province. Its long, tree-lined corniche is the city's living room, busy at dusk. Half Moon Bay's shallow, fine sands are the region's favourite beach. Large malls and Gulf seafood restaurants make it a livable, modern window into Saudi life.
