Sobre esta Trap
Taxis between Dammam and Khobar are described as pricey, and outside central Khobar they are scarce, so flagging one on the roadside can waste time. Uber and Careem work in the area and show the fare before you ride. If you do take a street taxi, agree the fare to your exact stop before you get in. In normal traffic the two cities are about 15 minutes apart, so a short hop should not become a long argument.
