Dammam → Dhahran (Ithra): key facts

Getting from Dammam Airport (DMM) to Dhahran (Ithra) takes about 35 min by car on an empty road (35–50 min in heavy traffic) over 46 km via 605 and 613. Our private transfer costs €65 for a car with 1–3 passengers or €95 for a van with 4–8 — the vehicle price you see is the price you pay at booking.

On arrival: The driver waits in the arrivals hall on the Arrivals Level of the King Fahd International Airport passenger terminal, after passport control, baggage claim and customs, holding a sign with your name, and walks with you to the car at the terminal pick-up area. If the flight is late, the driver adjusts to the real landing time; 60 minutes of waiting are included and help with the luggage is part of the service.

Dhahran lies between Dammam and Al Khobar and is home to the headquarters of the national oil company, the King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals and the Ithra cultural centre. From the airport the drive of about 46 km follows King Fahd Road (Route 605) south-east and then the Dhahran-Jubail Highway (Route 613) to the Ithra exit. The highways are toll-free. Parts of Dhahran are gated company areas, so the route uses the public roads around them.

Ithra, the King Abdulaziz Center for World Culture, is the landmark building with a tall rounded tower rising above smooth stone-clad pods; it houses a museum, a library, a cinema, a theatre and exhibition halls, set in landscaped grounds with fountains. Visitors are dropped at the main entrance plaza next to the car park. The Dhahran Mall and the university campus are a few minutes away by car, and the Khobar Corniche lies about 10 km to the east.

Public transport: The airport lists bus services only to Dammam city centre and to Khobar via Dammam station.
