About this audio guide
This guide to Khobar Corniche in Dammam's twin city of Al Khobar goes back to Bahrain in nineteen twenty-three, to Ahmad bin Abdullah Al-Dosari, chief of the Dawasir tribe, and his feud with the British officials reshaping the island. You'll meet a colonel arriving with gunships, a political agent who saw the tribe as his main obstacle, and the raids that brought the quarrel to a head. Best heard at the seaward railing, facing east across the Gulf.
