About this audio guide
This guide to Dammam Corniche in Saudi Arabia goes back to nineteen twenty-three and the Dawasir, a pearling tribe from Budaiya on Bahrain, just across the water. It follows a quarrel over the diving tax, British-backed reforms, a nervous ruler and the powerful king on this mainland. Best heard at the sea wall, facing out toward the island.
