Albairaq
البيرق
The flag rises first: Albairaq sets the key for everything that follows along the water.
Journey
A Walk Along the Khobar Corniche
مسير على كورنيش الخبر
Five landmarks strung along the water, south to north, in the order the coastline gives them — finish at dusk, when the lighting comes up.
ROUTE
Albairaq → Aebayah → Wehdat Watan → AlTasis → Thakirat AlKhobar
About this journey
The route, in short.
The corniche is the province read in one line. This journey follows it from the southern flag to the memory of the old town, five landmarks in the order the coastline gives them — no doubling back.
Drive it in an afternoon, or walk the northern half and leave the car at Wehdat Watan. Either way, finish at dusk: the last two stops are lit, and the corniche fills with families the moment the heat breaks.
