RECOMENDACIONES
LOCALES
MAÑANAAs dawn breaks, take a stroll along the palm-fringed Corniche and watch the morning sun slowly bathe the city in light. You can then enjoy breakfast at one of the many cafés located along the Corniche. After your refreshing start, head to Al Rashed Mall, the biggest and most modern mall in Saudi Arabia, for an extravagant shopping experience. The variety and choice of shops and brands is certain to delight the most seasoned shoppers. |
TARDEVisit the Heritage Village, probably one of the greatest traditional museums in Saudi Arabia. The treasures found there are amazing and give a fascinating insight into Islamic history, science and invention as well as Bedouin culture. There are even artefacts dating back to the Stone Age. You can enjoy a late lunch at the adjoining restaurant which serves delicious, traditional Saudi dishes. Afterwards, proceed to the traditional Saudi Souk on the second floor for a little light afternoon shopping. |
NOCHEIn the evening as the sun sets and the temperature drops, enjoy a relaxing dinner at Sanbouk, a delightful restaurant on the Corniche serving freshly caught fish and seafood - all beautifully prepared and presented. Be sure to get a table overlooking the Arabian Gulf so you can sit back, relax and feel the stress of the day fade away. |
CULTURA LOCALCLOTHINGAl Khobar has a very warm climate for most of the year. Cotton and linen wear is best during the hottest months (April to September). SAUDI CULTURESaudi culture is historically based on the 18th-century revivalist Islamic movement of the Najdi leader Sheikh Muhammad Ibn Abdel-Wahhab. The Najd and other remote areas remain true to Wahhabi tradition, which particularly affects the position of women, who are required by law to leave the home covered in black burkhas (abaya). There are, however, regional variations of dress, and in other parts of the country this way of life is changing. RELIGIONSaudi Arabia is the birthplace of Islam and society reflects this. Along with Judaism and Christianity, Islam is one of the great monotheistic religions. The Qur'an is the holy book of Islam. ALCOHOLAlcohol is prohibited as per the Saudi government regulations based on relegious tenets (Shariah Law) THE LEGAL SYSTEMThe judicial system of the Kingdom is based on Islamic Law (Shari'ah) and Royal Decrees. Shari'ah is taken from the interpretations of the Holy Qur'an and the Sunnat (tradition of the Prophet Muhammad). Royal Decrees are also issued to regulate industrial and commercial affairs. |
¿SABÍA QUÉ? ?Dammam CityDammam City is an important Saudi port in the Arabian Gulf. The largest town in the Eastern region, it has expanded to the city limits of two other modern towns, Al-Khobar and Dhahran. Near Dammam are some of the most important centres in the world for the production and refining of petroleum. King Fahd CausewayThe most spectacular road project in the Kingdom was the construction of the King Fahd Causeway, connecting the Saudi Arabian mainland with the island of Bahrain. This four-lane highway, 25 meters wide and about 16 miles long, cost US$1.2 billion to build and was financed entirely by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. A man-made island at the midway point of the causeway provides fantastic views of the surrounding ocean. Oil ExportSaudi Arabia is the world's largest exporter of oil, at least four times higher than of Norway. Daily production of oil stands at approximately 1.3 million tons a day. Oil ExportThe Tarut Citadel, an ancient crab-shaped fortress, with nine-metre high walls, 11 towers, connecting bridges, and a complex of secret passages for use during wartime, is thought to be over 5000 years old. Time ZoneThe entire Kingdom has one time zone. Saudi Arabia is three hours ahead of Greenwich Mean Time (GMT+3). |
QUÉ METER EN LA MALETACurrencyIt is recommended that you exchange some currency before you arrive in the Kingdom, just enough to cover airport incidentals and transportation to the hotel. The Saudi Riyal (SR) is the unit of currency, with one Saudi Riyal made up of a hundred Halalahs. Since July 1986, the Saudi Riyal has been pegged to the US dollar with a fixed exchange rate of SR3.75 to US$1. InterContinental Al Khobar provides currency exchange facilities at the front desk. Light clothesSince the Kingdom lies in the tropics, the nationwide average temperature is 20C. However, temperatures vary considerably, increasing as the country descends towards the southwest. Light summer clothes are suggested but bring a light sweater as it gets cooler at night. No AlcoholWhat not to pack! Make sure that you do not carry any alcohol with you while entering Saudi Arabia. All forms of liquor are prohibited in the Kingdom. Saudi RiyalsChange some money into Saudi Riyals - just enough to cover airport incidentals and transportation to the hotel - before you leave home, so you can avoid unpleasant queues at the airport ATMs. The ClimateThe climate of the Kingdom varies from region to region, but Al Khobar can be extremely hot with temperatures comfortably above 40C. Saudi Arabia has no rivers or permanent streams so be sure to bring light summer wear and do not forget your swimwear. |
