Compared to the rest of Saudia Arabia, the place is better and the people are nicer

3/5 - Okay

Chris

The water is absolutely beautiful, but other than that, Al Khobar didn’t seem very different from Riyadh, where we currently live. It would definitely be nicer to visit in the winter than summer.

4/5 - Good
