Something new and eye-catching is on the way to the Corniche. The famous London Eye is getting a Saudi twist as “عين الخبر” (Al-Khobar Eye) — a giant observation wheel set to become the city’s newest landmark.
Here’s what we know so far:
- Location: Al-Athim Roundabout, Turkish Prince Street
- Opening: Q1 2026
- What to expect: A stunning panoramic view of Al-Khobar and the Arabian Gulf coast
Al-Khobar Eye is designed to bring residents and visitors a fresh way to see the city, with the kind of views that turn everyday outings into special occasions. It’s set to become one of the most recognizable symbols of the Corniche.
And this is only the start. Saudi Arabia is preparing more big projects that will add to the buzz. Coming up soon is Global City Dammam, a brand-new tourist destination with international pavilions and food markets, promising to bring flavors and culture from all around the world to the Eastern Province.
