- ChrisThomasTravelsManama, Bahrain618 contributionsEnjoyable spot, cleaner than expected when we visited. We chanced upon a local family and they invited us to a breakfast picnic. Worth a quick stop if you are in the Khobar area.Written October 17, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Shane L31 contributionsVery clean mall with good choice of shops ( Perfumes,Clothing /Jewellery etc.)and restaurants in the food court area.The mall has expanded over the years since my last visit many years ago.It is one of the oldest malls in Dhahran/Al Khobar area.Many new shops are still expected to open as a lot seemed to have closed since the pandemic.Quieter in the morning and gets busier in the afternoon/evenings.Recommended for a shopping trip.Written January 6, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Sagri2013Indianapolis, IN4,381 contributionsTo enjoy the serene, turquoise waters of the Persian Gulf, Half Moon Bay is an excellent choice. It is an ideal spot for group or family activities, as well as relaxation. I recommend bringing any necessary items such as chairs, tables, and towels. The shallow water allows you to wade about 50 meters from shore while still touching the ground, but beware of sudden drops beyond that point. During the Eid-ul-Fitr holidays, we spent our 2nd day at this beach, which was bustling with locals and tourists. It is a great spot for picnics, swimming, and various other beach activities for a delightful time, including sunbathing, swimming, boat trips, barbeque, water sports, horse riding, quad biking on dunes, and car drift driving. Although it is situated outside the city, this picturesque crescent-shaped beach boasts several public and private beaches along its miles-long stretch of coastal road. There are five different public beach areas along the shoreline namely Marjan, Sadaf, Al Turki, Mahar, and one more.Written April 29, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Sagri2013Indianapolis, IN4,381 contributionsThe mosque is situated in a large garden facing the Khobar Corniche consisting of two prayer halls on a land area of 40,000 square meters. There are two minarets, about 49 meters high, on both sides of the main entrance. A distinctly Saudi architectural design, it is dominated by the character of the modern era with all its induction technology. With multiple entrances, it is widely known as a very spacious and one of the largest mosques in the Eastern Province with a capacity of 4,100 worshippers. Completed in May 1997 at a cost of over Saudi Riyals 24,610,000 (over $6,500,000) it is a good and clean masjid, featuring a separate women's section, wheelchair accessibility, a big ablution area, clean toilets, and a large parking area. The big park is generally used for walking, cycling, picnicking, and a playing area for kids. It is a monument in Khobar city. Close to this mosque are many civic facilities including a hypermarket, petrol station, fast food, restaurants, banks and ATM machines, etc. Adjacent to the mosque is a funeral home or mortuary where the last rituals of a dead person are held. Usually, the janaza (funeral) prayers are offered here and then the deceased is taken to the Thuqbah graveyard.Written December 21, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
