De-stress in Dammam: the best ways to unwind during your stay in Saudi Arabia

Whatever brings you to Saudi Arabia’s East Coast, whether a business trip or purely leisure stay, discover our favourite recommendations of how best to relax and enjoy some downtime.

Catch The Sun On The Corniche

The stylish 4 star Naviti by Warwick Dammam is perfectly situated for guests to appreciate the contemporary tree-lined Dammam seafront corniche. This pristine promenade is just a few minute’s walk from the hotel and is suited to a relaxing stroll or energizing jog, people watching or simply basking in the sunshine on the beach or many green areas. Coral Island, also known as Murjan Island, is a short ferry ride offshore and is a great alternative for sweeping views of the city and the gulf.  Particular highlights include white sandy beaches, rocks ideally suited to fishing and the spectacular Fanar Tower lighthouse. When you’ve had just a little too much sun, the nearby Dolphin Village is airconditioned and features thrilling dolphin and seal shows, as well as a small zoo and aquarium. 

Desert Safari Saudi-style

No visit to a city in Saudi Arabia is complete without exploring the desert scenery. A especially spectacular stretch of dunes can be found just 40 minutes outside the city near Buqayq, but please be sure to ask the expert team at Naviti by Warwick Dammam for your best desert adventure options. Highlights of a trip to the desert can include adrenaline-rush 4x4 safaris, inspiring falconry displays, seeing camel herds in the wild, sliding down majestic golden dunes or hunting for the elusive sand rose, a crystal formation made up of gypsum or baryte petals which fan out to create a blossom shape. 

24 Carat Wellness

Some of the most relaxing moments in Damman can be enjoyed without even leaving the comfort of your hotel. What better way to start or end the day than on the Naviti by Warwick Dammam rooftop pool deck  with sunrise and sunset vistas over the city and Arabian Gulf? Panoramic views are guaranteed by the 7th floor location and poolside lounging is enhanced even further by TV screens and various dining and drinks options. The ultimate Dammam spa experience can be enjoyed in our sleek Gold Spa, or even in the privacy of your room or suite if you prefer. Customised massages include traditional Swedish, tension relieving reflexology, circulation-boosting cupping, revitalising aromatherapy and soothing hot stone. A sauna, steam room and mud bath for classic Moroccan or Damascus treatments, restore wellness and complete this revitalising journey of relaxation. 

You’ll be spoiled for choice of relaxing or exhilarating, but always memorable, ways to wind down in Damman.
