Route guide
Riyadh to Al Khobar is the drive many people make on a Thursday: out of the capital, east to the coast, and into a weekend by the Corniche or Half Moon Bay. Business travellers heading to Dhahran use it too. It is about 400 km and roughly 4 hours inside Saudi Arabia, so one car and one driver take you all the way from Riyadh to your door in Khobar.
Travel time & distance
Duration
~4 hours
Distance
~400 km
The drive takes around 4 hours. Getting out of Riyadh is usually the slowest part, especially at the start of a weekend. Leave before the afternoon rush, or after it, and the run east to Khobar is straightforward.
Weekend by the sea
Khobar's waterfront is the main draw for weekend trips from Riyadh. The Corniche is good for an evening walk, and Half Moon Bay to the south has beach resorts. With a private car you leave from home when it suits you, bring whatever the family needs, and get dropped at the hotel door. Booking the return at the same time keeps the weekend simple.
Good to know
- No passport control on the way, since the whole drive stays inside Saudi Arabia
- Fuel and highway tolls are included in the price
- Free cancellation up to 24 hours before pick‑up, which helps if weekend plans change
- Child seats free on request for younger travellers
- Book the return for Saturday evening at the same time
