About this audio guide
This guide to Ash Shati Ash Sharqi, the waterfront district of Dammam, is about the shoreline itself as something built rather than found. It follows the rock barriers, the man-made Al-Marjan Island opened in nineteen ninety-one, and the researchers who measured two decades of new ground along the Gulf. Best heard on the promenade facing the water, with the island in view.
