About this audio guide
This guide to Ajdan Walk in Al Khobar leaves the cafe terraces for a moment and goes back to the mid-nineteen-thirties, when Khobar was a small fishing village and an oil company needed a pier to reach Bahrain. It follows the local workers hired for that job, the engineer Floyd Ohliger, and the stone they worked with. Best heard at the edge of the boardwalk, facing the water.
