Dammam is the centre of Saudi Arabia's Eastern Province and the country's opening onto the Persian Gulf. Dhahran, Khobar and Dammam have grown into what is almost a single settlement; the area where oil was found in 1938 is now also known for the Ithra cultural centre. A hundred and fifty kilometres inland lies Al-Ahsa, considered the largest oasis in the world. Turkish Airlines, Pegasus and AJet fly direct from Turkiye to Dammam, and the flight from Istanbul takes about 3 hours 55 minutes. Turkish citizens travel on a tourist e-visa.
