Why travel by private taxi?
Al Khobar, on the Gulf coast beside Dammam and Dhahran, draws business travellers heading to the Aramco area and families going for the corniche, malls, and seafront weekends. A private car offers reliable, on-time door-to-door travel from Riyadh.
Because Al Khobar is the gateway to the King Fahd Causeway, many travellers book the trip as the first leg of a journey continuing on to Bahrain.
