Dammam Airport Car Rental Mini Guide

Car Hire is easily available here but we advise to book online as early as possible to get the cheapest price.  Dammam is home to the largest airport in the world in terms of area, the King Fahd International Airport. It is close to the city of Dammam. 

When hiring a car from Dammam Airport in Saudi Arabia, there are several important considerations to keep in mind:

Driving in Dammam:

  1. Driving License: Ensure that you have a valid international driving permit (IDP) or a Saudi driving license to drive in Saudi Arabia. Check the specific requirements with the car rental agency.

  2. Traffic Regulations: Familiarize yourself with local traffic regulations, including speed limits, seat belt usage, and mobile phone restrictions while driving. Speed limits are generally well-marked, and radar cameras are common.

  3. Fuel: Fuel is relatively inexpensive in Saudi Arabia, and petrol stations are widely available. Most stations accept cash and credit cards.

  4. Traffic Congestion: Be prepared for traffic congestion, especially during peak hours in urban areas like Dammam. Plan your journeys accordingly to avoid rush hour.

Sightseeing and Attractions:

  1. Half Moon Bay: Located about 45 minutes from Dammam, Half Moon Bay is a popular beach destination with a crescent-shaped coastline. It's ideal for swimming, water sports, and relaxation.

  2. King Fahd Park: This large park in Dammam offers green spaces, walking paths, playgrounds, and recreational facilities. It's a great place for a family outing.

  3. Dammam Corniche: The city's waterfront area, known as the Corniche, features scenic views, gardens, and walking paths. It's a lovely spot for a leisurely stroll or a picnic.

Distances and Main Routes:

  • Dammam is part of the Dammam Metropolitan Area, which includes Al Khobar and Dhahran. The main routes in the region include King Fahd Causeway, connecting Saudi Arabia to Bahrain, and King Fahd Road, which links Dammam to other cities in the Eastern Province.

  • Major cities in the Eastern Province, such as Al Khobar and Dhahran, are within relatively short driving distances from Dammam.

Scenic Routes:

  • While the Eastern Province is primarily urban, you can still enjoy scenic drives along the coastline of the Arabian Gulf. The coastline offers picturesque views and opportunities to explore the beaches and waterfront areas.

When renting a car, be sure to check with the local car hire companty for specific requirements, driving regulations, and any restrictions related to the type of vehicle you can rent.  You will find these detailed under `Important Information for the hire car of your choice, including details about excess, insurance coverage and options to upgrade along with deposit and payment card information.
