[QUOTE=Dan81;1174793]I will be in Dammam at the end of the month and from what I read it seems to me this is really as dry as it can get in a country! I will keep an eye on the forum just in case someone decide to share some contacts or experience until I will get there and in case I will have any luck there, I will post once I will have access to this site.[/QUOTE]You do not have any chance in Dammam. But still you have a great potential to have some nice experience.
Firstly if you have a car, directly go to bahrain. It is easy to go there, do not worry to loose your way. I do not know whether your car has permission to pass the border or not. If has very easy, simply pass the border, if not again not a big deal. Drive to border, park your car there. Do not worry nothing happen to your car there. Once I parked my car around 10 days. On the parking lots you will see lots of drivers. If you can not, again do not worry they will see you. Pay them not more than 250 SAR. Normal is 200SAR if you negotiate well. On the way take his mobile phone number, next day when you go back you can call him again.
Still if you do not want to park your car there, you can find some taxis at dammam also. General fare is 400 SAR. Do not pay more than500 SAR. If you need I can send couple of mobile phone numbers of some trusted drivers.
What you will do in bahrain? You can find tons of options in bahrain section. But if you will stay in shot time period (1-2 days) I suggest you to go to delmon internationel hotel. It is not expensive, it has a big and famous bar- diggers with wide selection of mainly PRC and thais. Therefore you do not need to waste your time to find nice pick up point. If you are planning to spend longer time, read the forum pages, you will find all info you need with clear explanations.
