A city on Saudi Arabia's Gulf coast with a walkable centre full of cafés and restaurants, Khobar sits in the Eastern Province, the kingdom's oil-producing heartland, and flourished after petroleum was discovered in the region. It lies a short drive from Dhamran and Dammam, with water access nearby. In 2024 it was recognised as a smart city by the IMD Smart City Index and designated a healthy city by the World Health Organization.
