The cafe first opened its doors to Khobar, in June last year. It is known as the first pet café in kingdom where, until recently, dog-walking was banned from public places.

Barking Lot’s owner, Dalal Ahmed, said she got the idea during her previous visit to the Kingdom. “I came to Saudi Arabia for a visit with my dog but wasn’t allowed to walk on the beach with him. I was very sad and decided to help by opening a coffee shop for people who have dogs and even for those who do not”.
