The Dammam Corniche in Saudi Arabia is full of charm. Filled with anticipation 😆, I set foot on this coastal land, eager to explore its unique qualities.​ 📍 Heading to the Corniche​ As I traveled from downtown Dammam toward the coast, my anticipation grew. Along the way, modern buildings lined the streets, the sun reflecting off their glass facades, creating a dazzling spectacle ✨. The streets were bustling with traffic, and people's faces were filled with enthusiasm and vitality. As the sea breeze grew stronger, I knew the Corniche was close at hand.​ 🌊 First Impressions of the Corniche​ The Corniche is like a dazzling ribbon, winding along the coastline of the Arabian Gulf. The azure sky ☁ and the crystal-clear seawater merge in the distance, blurring the horizon. Along the avenue, tall palm trees stand in neat rows, like loyal guards, their swaying leaves seemingly welcoming every visitor. The white sandy beach sparkles under the sunlight, and the fine sand slips through my toes, bringing a cool sensation.​ 🎡 The Vibrancy of the Corniche​ Strolling along the Corniche, a lively scene unfolds before my eyes. In the open-air cafes along the street, people leisurely sip coffee and enjoy their time. Not far away, children build sandcastles on the beach, their laughter echoing in the air. Colorful beach umbrellas dot the sand, resembling blooming flowers. On the sea, sailboats bob with the waves, and the people on board revel in the thrill of riding the wind and waves.​ 💃 A Blend of Culture and Local Customs​ The Corniche not only boasts beautiful natural scenery but also a rich cultural atmosphere. Along the way, you can see street performers' captivating shows, dancers twirling to cheerful music 💃, their infectious rhythm captivating everyone. There are also many small shops selling unique souvenirs, their diverse goods showcasing the unique cultural charm of Saudi Arabia. I entered a small shop and chose a piece of jewelry with traditional Arabic patterns as a memento of this trip.​ 💖 Reflections at Sunset​ Before I knew it, the sun began to set, painting the entire Corniche in shades of orange and red. A magnificent sunset appeared in the sky, complementing the shimmering sea surface, creating a breathtaking picture. At this moment, the Corniche takes on a sense of tranquility and romance.
