About this audio guide
This guide to Heritage Village on the Dammam corniche follows Saad Al Balhi, a boy who traded alongside his father and found something in the sand, and the collection he built as his city changed around him. It reaches back to the small fishing villages of this coast and to the American drillers on Jabal Dhahran in the nineteen thirties. Best heard facing the water, before you head upstairs to the museum.
