The tri-cities of Dammam, Dhahran and Al Khobar are more or less established fairly recently, so unlike Jeddah and Riyadh, they don\u2019t have a rich history to boast of. As a result of that they are constantly coming with new tourist sites and earlier in 2018 they transformed a portion of a sleepy neighborhood called Al Bayounia in Al Khobar into a giant canvas<\/a>. And, boy does it look good.<\/p>\n

These once deteriorating houses got a breath of new life<\/h3>\n
