Hey all
What's the difference between khobar, dammam and jubail??

Sorry if it sounds silly but we've never been there before

Where can we find the beach??

Unlike the rest of the country, the population on the eastern side of KSA is rather distributed. In stead of a single large city, there is a chain of smalls. All 3 are on the same coast.

Al-Khobar and Al-Dammam are twin cities, you really don't have to travel/feel when one finsihes and the other starts. Jubail however is 60 Km apart.

Khobar being the best 'city' and has the best corniche, beaches in-between (like half-moon beach) are a must-see. I haven't been to Jubail yet but I heard that beaches there are the cleanest with good tides.

You don't have to 'look for' the sea :), just head east on compass from anywhere and you'll be there.
