The Eastern Province (ash-Sharqiyah) is the largest province in Saudi Arabia, covering the entire Gulf coast of the country.

[edit] Cities

The three main cities of the Eastern Province are all tightly clustered together and no more than a 15-min drive apart from each other.

• Dammam
• Dhahran — headquarters of Saudi Aramco
• Khobar — the gateway to Bahrain

The rest are scattered around the coast:

• Hofuf (al-Ahsa) — the world's largest oasis

[edit] By plane

Dammam's airport has services from around Saudi Arabia and limited international flights to major cities in the region. Flying in via Bahrain is also a viable option.

[edit] By train

There are four trains a day from Riyadh to Dammam via Hofuf.

[edit] By car

The King Fahd Causeway connects Khobar to Bahrain.

[edit] Get around

Public transport is very limited, so having your own wheels will really pay off here.
