Location

The Corniche neighbourhood is one of the upscale neighbourhoods in Al Khobar. with a length of 12.5 km.

After the city of Al-Khobar was established as a result of the founding of Aramco in the 1930s, King Khalid Street was distinguished by its commercial strength from the 1950s until the end of the last century, and commercial expansion began, reaching the Corniche district today, specifically Prince Turkey Street, and the economic boom in the last ten years.

In our study of the history of the region, we discovered tremendous development in the last 10 years, as 16 new towers were erected on just one street, we observed A radical change in the skyline of the area .

2023 From an economic standpoint, the street did not have any attractive elements, as there were no stores in 2015, and the first commercial store was opened in 2016 (Alley Cafe).
