Khobar, As I see It

Al-Khobar, is a small city surrounded by a few old and commercial eastern province cities of Saudi Arabia and Persian Gulf. I always call it bachelor’s city. Where being a bachelor one can live and enjoy the freedom of life compare to other cities of Saudia.

Saudia is great and Al-Khobar is great ++. One cannot feel Khobar’s calm until one has not spent his part of life here. Small city but has every single thing available which is required for a good living standard except a glass-stand, I don’t know why glass-stand is so harder to find here in Khobar malls. I am searching for a one since 3 months but have no luck yet.

Beauty of Khobar is in less traffic, numerous malls having all sorts of international brands, well maintain river side[corniche], few very unique and adventurist picnic sports like half moon( a desert place for riding bikes and trucks), boat riding, King Fahd Causeway, hundreds of Families get together places and bar-bee-Q spots at Persian Gulf.

Have variety of food outlets, which serve Arabic, Jordanian, Pakistani, Indian, Lebanese, Iranian, English and Chinese dishes. I like Saudi Mandi and Mabzi [name of Arabic dishes]. However it is harder to find good Chinese food in Saudia. Bando-Khan restaurant is not famous at all in Karachi but it has good name and reputation in Khobar. Almost everything one can find here including peace of mind. I love this city.

Khobar also have a small Pakistani Area and a Pakistani School, one can see Pakistan everywhere in this area. Commercial market is small, and in term of software market it would not exist if Al-Khobar is not situated beside Dharan City, which has Saudia Aramco and KFUPM University in it. Dharan is adjacent to Khobar, hardly 10 min of drive on highway or may be less.
