If it wasn’t for this place, we wouldn’t have had a good tourist attraction. This is a must visit place for people coming from outside this area. As a local I go there every week and just walking there makes me feel better 😎 check the event schedule before you go and of course check out their awesome library 📚

Beautiful and state of the art facility.

What a great architectural masterpiece indoors and outdoors. There are free exhibitions inside for kids and young at hearts like me. Lol. It is a must visit site when you are around eastern province. Weekends are totally busy so plan ahead before coming. Outdoor design is picturesque and well built.

If you want a journey full of knowledge & entertainment for you, your family, and friends, then Ithra is a perfect destination for you ⭐️😍⭐️.. Be prepared for a reasonable amount of time spent there if you want to visit more than a site or division. Visit their website beforehand to plan your trip & route inside (many occasional free & paid activities are held from time to time). Their areas inside the building are fit for any budget (starting Free 😁), but you can plan your time spent their according to your interests & the age of individuals with you, and of course, weekdays are better. Holidays are not recommended if your want a pleasant visit, especially if you it’s your first one ☝🏼😊. Kids will have fun if you prepare their journey according to their ages (Kids Museum is amazing 🤩, despite their SAR 45 which is a bit high price for such a ticket I guess 😬). If an adult is going to stay with a kid, the price tag for his/her ticket is also SAR 25 🙂. The cinema is definitely worth it if you choose the right movie 🎥 .. and if children in your group are in certain age… then they will love the experience 👍🏼). Plan ahead for food 🍱🥤, and a trolley for easy movement if you have a toddler 👶🏻. NOTE: you have to leave the trolley in a specific area if you want to enter the museum ⚠️. 👍🏼 Thumbs up if you find this review helpful… thanks 🙏🏼😊

Amazing architectural design. Clean. Cool. Spacious. Place to work. Space to explore and learn. Books in Arabic and books in English. Museum. Cinema

The King Abdulaziz Center for World Culture, Ithra, is a cultural gem that captivates visitors with its diverse offerings. Notably, the security personnel at Ithra are incredibly helpful, ensuring a welcoming environment for all visitors. Their dedication to ensuring a positive experience enhances the overall enjoyment of the diverse cultural exhibits and activities. The security team's friendliness and helpfulness add an extra layer of warmth to the already enriching atmosphere at Ithra, making it a must-visit destination for cultural enthusiasts.

Must visit place for both adults as well as kids. Has a big library. Few exhibitions are free of cost and few are paid. If you are interested in some particular event it is better to book it. There are many parking slots, parking 5 is the nearest one to entrance. Much of the information is available on the website.

Very good environment, good for family specially for kids. Must visit place. The Ithra Museum has four galleries that feature exhibitions of national and international contemporary art, Saudi and Islamic cultural heritage, and the natural history of the Arabian Peninsula. It has also mounted major exhibitions of important international artists, such as Edvard Munch and Leonardo da Vinci. Ithra is home to the Kingdom’s first Children’s Museum, and the ever-popular Energy Exhibit. Ithra’s Idea Lab is an active space for innovation and entrepreneurship. The Cinema and Theater bring world culture to the region, and serve as a launching point for the creative economy. In addition to co-hosting the annual Saudi Film Festival, to date, Ithra has produced 20 films that have won 15 regional and international awards.

Very attractive construction and well maintained. Library is very attractive and huge collection. Kids museum is a little expensive. I could not visit the Energy Exhibit building. It was free of cost for visiting but I was late. Timing of the Energy Exhibit is 9.00AM to 8.00PM.

The place is fantastic! Great respect for the idea, execution and maintenance of a high level! Children's area - great! Lots of curiosities, lots of experiments, workshops of various kinds and very friendly service! Library - respect! Restaurants, cafes, courtyard, hall, entrances - cosmically well done! The exterior of the building - benches, fountains, greenery ... all thought out and well made. Lots of parking spaces. The only remark - entrances, other car parks and other places could be better marked from the parking lot. Amazing place for a family stay and for coming back several times :-)

A very beautiful place. If you want to study, they have a library. Also, every occasion, such as the National Day, they do very activities. The places are very wonderful, and entry is free. Plus there is a museum here that teaches you all about saudi history, and there is a cinema. Staff here are incredibly nice. 10/10 place

An knowledgeable place with a variety of information centers. A perfect learning opportunity for kids. We particularly enjoyed Energy Exhibit. It walks you through different stages of operation, types of oils and their differences, how is it transported and some historical information. For kids they arrange some fun learning activities, make sure to book it online before visiting.

A great place that offers a variety of experiences and facilities that cater to all ages. The place knowledge enrich. The place is beautiful and clevely engineered. Most services available are for free. There is large library with quite place suitable for studying and reading.

One of the most fascinating places I've ever been to. The museum is a fusion of traditional and modern technology that made it highly interactive. All corners scream innovation Plus the building itself is an exceptionally stunning!

It was a amazing experienced in Ithra, Khobar one of the must visit place. Great family place and I was amazed with building structure and the technology what they used. Entrance free of charge. But for selected activities they charge per activities. Example Adults Museum 35sr/Great Hall 30sr Adults museum really worth it and enjoyed. I feel overall one of the must visit place in Saudi Arabia.

Great place to learn about Saudi Arabia cultures , Terrain , History , Arabian fonts art , and almost everything... Ithra got very big spectacular quite Library of 4 floors ... It’s very attractive place for people who likes to sit in peace and read ... The library has variety of books 📚 To sum up Ithra has a lot of great exhibits suits everyone boys , girls , kids , families.

Had a nice experience visiting with family. Nice n clean. Outdoor part is also very attractive n natural. Outdoor visit must b planned in a good weather. Outdoor cinema 👍

Beautiful modern design, elegant interiors and finishings, nicely organised place, with clear illustrations and guiding signs. Wide variety of activities, suitable for all age groups, though some stations were left with no attendants or supervisors, so we had a quick look instead of the planned workshops that were advertised in the website. I liked the library particularly. It is a must to visit, and I enjoyed the pottery making session in outdoor area. The aspect I really didn’t like is the burger restaurant in the outside yard. The service wasn’t good, with limited menu, below average food and expensive prices.

The center is great and good for family. There are many sections . One of which that I enjoyed most was the kids one that contains multiple types of entertainment such as library, coloring 😀, mind games suitable for age 6 to 12. On the other hand, there is the theater and the energy exhibit which you will experience the 🛢 oil extraction tools . Moreover, the center helds different announced activities.

Amazing center with beautiful architecture and design. Has a big library, museum, theatre, energy exhibition and other facilities and sections. Very nice place to spend time with family to learn and have fun. Admission to all sections should be free for students and seniors.

Its a great place for leisure and for learning and also for picture taking. The library was well arrange and looking neat. Its a great way of learning especially related on the oil and gas field and how its made.

The architecture manages to tread the fine line between modern and heritage, with out being crass or boring. The stainless steel tubing that forms much of the interior and exterior shell reminds me of drill strings, I'm unsure if that's intentional or not. The entire building has plenty of amenities and is well signed throughout.

It’s a marvelous place with plenty of books, history and paintings. We visited all the 4 museums earth, art,tradition and light & energy. They have a big library expanding to 4 floors with different books from all over the world. There is a children museum and workshops for kids too. Entry and library is free but if you wish to visit those 4 museums then it costs 35SAR per person.

A must visit tourist spot. The exhibition centre is very informative and give everyone a detailed outlook about oil and petroleum refining and production. Its a science park with many activities and games for all age groups.

One of the best places to visit around the region! It’s has a museum for kids and Also an adult one! There a huge library where it’s there levels depend in your favorite type of book . Also there always something exiting happening in here! And a lot of interesting workshops where they bring experts from all over the world to here just to share their knowledge with us! If you love finding treasures, well this place is a treasure knowledge!

Love this place, it’s a great cultural center with lots to do. They have a lot of seasonal events and workshops that you can see/sign up for on their website. The library is huge and white and every nice to sit in to study or otherwise. There’s a few restaurants and pop ups to try. Definitely recommend you go check it out if you’re in the area, you won’t regret it.

Absolutely worth visit! The oil and gas exhibition is very educative and interesting

The one of the unique places in the kingdom to visit. Superb facility. Knowledge meets fun. There are plenty of parking spots around the facility. Its designed as a modern futuristic interior designing. It consists of theater , energy exhibit, museum, childrens museum, shopping area, park, fountain, library and many more. You should visit this amazing place atleast once

Ithra is amazing structure and very well maintained place. Everything is so well designed made with class of the art material and structures. It has a Hugh multilevel library for the book lover covering all the topics of literature, art, history, science, fiction and lot more. A few nice coffee shops and restaurants inside. Theatre is also a part of it but shows are limited and not everyday which is same with a cinema inside. Energy exhibition is amazing place to learn oil and gas discovery, exploration to reaching a common man with lot videos, exhibits, structures, photos, models, games and lot more.

Must visit. This place is very nice and informative. The place is architect marvel. The place is good for families. The ambience is great. The hospitality is good. The volunteers guide you well. One can acquire lots of knowledge and also enjoy. There are events held for entertainment purposes. Events conducted on eids and national day are worth experiencing. Everything is just fine about this place. Parking space is huge. There are restaurants. I would recommend buying tickets in advance for hassle free enjoyment.

1 billion US Doller for ths marvelous building as though spaceship landed in desert

beautiful construction .. echo friendly area.. very good hospitality. i appreciate the staffs. .. entrance is free.. but for specific museums inside the center should take ticket by online,, specially during weekend days.

It was difficult to reduce that experience into one word. I thought masterpiece, monument, extraordinary, but really it is just not enough. The place is vibrant with culture and literature. The people there are friendly and knowledgeable. My favorite place in the country, the feeling i had there is rare to find anywhere else.

In love with this amazing architectural design of this Center.. It has stylish wide library I really enjoy my time there

The architect of the building is amazing. The experience inside the center is not that good. The activities and visiting areas including the museum, Halls, Libraries all could be improved. Apart from the building, there isn’t anything that would really inspire or entertain you. Nothing unique in the Museum or Cultural hall. Would not recommend to buy tickets for the museum or other paid activities. Just go to the free areas.

(Translated by Google) Jameel Museum from the other, There are 4 exhibitions and I heard that temporary shows are going on Among its advantages is that it is a museum in which the ancient natural life and it contains art from history and modern arts, and it contains the Saudi heritage and more things. Advice, go early, the time goes fast as you feel (Original) متحف جمييييل من الاخر ، فيه ٤ معارض وسمعت انه تصير فيه عروض مؤقته ومن مميزاته انه متحف فيه الحياة الطبيعية القديمة وفيه فنون من التاريخ وفنون حديثه وفيه التراث السعودي واشياء اكثر ، واكثر معرضين انبهرنا فيهم معرض كنوز ومعرض رحلات نصيحة روحوا مبكرين الوقت يمشي بسرعة ما حستوا

i had an spectacular experience here. It was so light and i can stay here all day long and bot be bored reading. makes me want to read more and more. If only its nearby i can stay all the time .

Its a nice place, have many activities and family friendly. You can bring your kids, or you can bring your study/work to the library. It has many and renewing museums and a cinema and a theater

Beautiful place, if you are interested in books, then you must visit this place for its free library for both adults and children.

Be sure to head on to Bonzai, a Japanese resto just off the ring road, with good views of Ithra. Been to this resto with a couple of friends the other week and we ordered a few things on their menu to try out. Some sushi wraps, tempura, an udon dish, beef to grill on the table and sencha tea. The sencha tea transported me back to Kyoto! It's such a good thing to revisit memories with food! Everything we ordered were delicious and I wouldn't mind going back to this place and try more of their food. The ambiance is nice too! The staff are what makes this place too! They were attentive, very professional and nice! Overall a good experience.

The King Abdulaziz Center for World Culture (Ithra) is a multidimensional cultural and creative destination, an inspiring space for self-discovery, and stimulate innovation and creativity. The center seeks to support the knowledge economy in Saudi Arabia. And contribute to the development of all cultural and knowledge levels by opening up to various cultures of the world, by providing interactive workshops, presentations and activities specially designed to enrich society of different age groups. The center has been opened to visitors since 2018 to become a platform for creativity, in which talents are gathered to learn and share ideas. Designed by Norwegian architect Sinohita, the building was designed as a set of stones that symbolize unity in its assembly. The building looks like a dazzling collection of huge rocks.

This place is definitely not something for a half a day visit. I would say that even a day might not be enough. The center contains multiple exhibitions, each one of them would be for few hours, if you want to hear or hear everything. Besides exhibitions, there is a library that is located on multiple floors. It looks really nice and it has also books in English, for example. There is a wifi available for the visitors, which will come handy if you want to listen to audio guide created from the exhibitions. Another thing that I found handy were multiple cafés and restaurants. This way, a visitor can really spend the whole day at the place without worrying too much about being hungry.

Very Amazing Experience Must Visit place with family and kids if you are interested in Art and Culture.

We entered in the afternoon,it was me,my wife and our 8 yr. old son. We visited the library floor by floor, what a great collection of books. When we reached the 5th floor, i saw a nice spot to read, sadly we were aproached by a lady working there, she nicely told us that children are not allowed in that floor, so we just decided to go down and head to the museum. i hope we were informed earlier. We went to buy tickets to ithra museum and and childrens museum. the ladies in the ticketing do not know the what time the session starts for children's museum, which is a bit odd considering its their job. After we got the tickets, we headed to ithra museum, in the ticket scanning, we were informed that 1 section is not allowed for kids. that information should have been extended to us by the ladies in the ticketing before we purchased ticket, right? i told them at the ticket scanning, I cant leave my son outside a section while we enjoy the artwork, can I now. the response was, his entrance is free, you did not pay for him, kinda rude huh. someone who seems to be their supervisor aproached me and apologized. I wanted to just refund the tickets but i dont want to ruin the experience for my wife and son. We entered arcade 1, after around 3 minutes, the guy at the ticket scanning came to us. He said, i told you that you cant enter here. My reply was how should i know which arcade im not allowed to enter. there should be someone in the entrance of the arcade to inform guests about this.im clearly irritated at this point. So we left arcade 1 and walked down to arcade 2. Art is subjective. i was expecting more. Arcade 3, the concept was nice, it just lacked depth for me. the lighting made it difficult to see the sea creatures and other images projected on the walls. the interactive stuffs that they have are mostly damaged and not working, probably due to wear and tear or poor maintenance. Arcade 4, is very simple but informative. i hope they expand this section. we left the ithra musem and waited in the lobby. after less than an hour waiting at the lobby, we were finally allowed to enter the kids museum. we were warmly welcomed and a guy informed us about the available activities. the painting session was composed of giving kids paint and paper, with background music playing, i thought it could have been a more entertaining and memorable experience for the kids. You can see that the staffs tried their best to entertain however many of the interactive items at the first floor are broken, not functioning properly or kind of dirty. it was already dark when we left the building. Ithra is clearly made to impress and make you say wow, sadly the service does not do the same.

A wonderful place to Everyone ! Outdoor cinema, coffees, restaurants, museum, children museum , library ! A perfect place to reading or meeting or just for take a cup of coffee in PATTIS nice cafe inside the library.. Highly recommended ! For Every one ! The staff was very friendly and helpful,

A stunning building with beautiful desert grounds which must be seen in daylight inside and outside; and not to be missed from the outside after dark. Returning for a few days would be needed to experience all aspects, but with very helpful staff members I could capture the highlights in a couple hours. Some exhibits/are as are temporarily closed due to covid restrictions.

This is a world wide MUST. Go there, wonderful place, everything of high quality, COVID safe and completely stunning place, full of people, not afraid of photos, women practicing art, pottery and gravure. By night, full of people and families.

Among the best places I’ve ever visited. I highly recommend you spend at least 6-8 hours here, especially if you enjoy books or cultural history. The library is a great place, especially the 4th floor. But also go to the children’s floor even if youre an adult. The kingdom of cultures is a must-see. The mountain segment is the most fun. Also go to the free events early so you don’t have to wait in line, like the pottery and the painting sections.

Cool place. I went there for the first time and there were many interesting facts. Recommend

(Translated by Google) To the officials of the public library in enriching what really annoys me. Some visitors to the library have nothing to do with neither reading, scientific research, nor studying, but only coming for a walk, and trivial sideburns and gurgling loudly. This place is designed for readers, researchers, and science seekers with reverence and calmness.

It is a great facility to learn about oil energy. I hope boys and girls who visit this place will become great scientists in the future. Excellent!

A great place to experience.. Unique design, ambient and concept.

When you come to the eastern region, you should visit ithra, a beautiful place for all ages

Very nice place to hangout with kids.very educational and interesting. Kids loved the children's museum. Lot of interesting stuff for kids.time just flies by in there. Tera was terrific and awsome especially the ocean underwater qas way too cool for taking silhouette.rainbow cave is awesome.

Definitely worth visiting, well organized and interesting exhibits. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Something to interest everyone.

A must see in Dhahran. A place that has great, interesting and enlightening activities for all family members.

I never seen like this Big invasion very interesting place & great ...

A modern quiet place with cultural vibes.

Outstanding place, nice views and salute to the infrastructure they made. Everyone must visit once to see this place, there are only educational things there in Ithra but still on the exit there are soo many activities you can do with your children. There is no entry fees, you can visit as an visitor. There are 02 security gates which you need to clear before making it to Ithra.

Very nice place to visit we came for the kids bookshops event wasn't what I expected around five small stores nothing attractive for young kids a bit expensive compared to other big stores there was story time for kids was good kids museum wasn't worth the money Ethra shop wasn't bad although its very expensive in some items but they had good souvenirs overall its good experience but they are still far from being compared to other countries museums.

best of the best Families with kids visits Cinema Theatre Exhibition Initiatives Restaurants Cafes And much more

Awesome place to visit in eastern Province Saudi Arabia. It's located in Dhahran near Al Khobar. The building Structure and the location is unbelievable Let's came and enjoy the ambiance. Also check their website for more information.

Worth to be visited. I was amazed by the design and the atmosphere it has! From the choices of book sections to the different events it holds! Consider its membership if you are a book worm!

Lookin' for sightseeing? Visit this place and you'll love it! 💓 some exhibitions also are free.

I went only to the museum. The museum overall is great but its small, and also it does have a lot of great things to see (especially Islamic and Saudi Arabia History). if you are in town and looking from something to do visit this museum.

A marvel of architecture and a very interesting exhibit. I visited in May 22 expecting to spend a couple of hours for both (Ithra + Energy Exhibit) and ended up spending 4.

Honestly this is the one of the best places in saudi arabia,the best place to chill out on holidays, the museum was the best nd the staffs are really kind nd all of them know english. Would recommend going

Ithra is a must go to place when visiting Khobar. The place is well maintained and has a very engaging way of giving out information to further educate people. The library has a huge collection of books for all ages. The energy exhibiton quite engaging as well. Would definitely recommend visiting this place.

The architecture of this building is spellbinding, Excellent place, a lot of different books, places to take an inspiration, An amazing cultural, historic and artistic experience. Lots of places to chill and hang out inside and outside. Recommend to visit.

What an iconic monument. It was a unique and amazing experience visiting something like this. The way this architecture has been raised, just blew my mind. I am gonna back soon. Respect for the idea.

Beautifully constructed.. Natural history musem is good to know about Arabian history. A big library as well as an exhibition hall.. A good place to spend 3 to 4 hours with kids.

It’s a must visit museum as it gives a good insight into the culture and geography of KSA. The Hijra Museum is also one of its kind… it’s really worth visiting. If you are visiting Dammam for a day or two and and thinking of where to go this is the place as it needs one whole evening. It will a day well spent…it opens only at 4pm.

Well organized. It gets busy during holidays. It has activities for children and adults mostly free or around 40sr. It's free to enter and explore especially the library. Very beautiful and quiet place during normal days. It's a most to visit.

Visited Ithra during Eid, there were plenty of activities for kids to enjoy, including interactive installations and engaging workshops. While some events required a fee, there were also plenty of free activities to enjoy, which made it accessible to a wider audience. The library is also impressive, with a large collection of books in both Arabic and English, and an entire floor dedicated to children's books. Overall, I would highly recommend visiting Ithra during the day, as there is so much to see and do. The atmosphere is lively and festive, and there's something for everyone especially for those interested in art, culture, and community.

Such an amazing experience visiting this place. Highly recommend going here to anyone visiting Dhahran. Architecture, science, history and much more. Beautiful rammed earth wall inside, lighting fixtures and flow of spaces, all a visual treat to the eyes. Exhibits are fabulous.

The infinite inspiration, adventurous and and creative destination is a part of Saudi ARAMCO’s vision to be an ambitious public initiative. Experienced there the formula 1 race first time in life. Highly friendly and cooperative staff all around the counters. If you are visiting Khobar, Dahran or Dammam in KSA must not miss to visit the place specially with the kids. Kids have special activities to do there. MUVI Cinema is just to open in a few days.

This iconic center is the landmark of eastern province. We attended the events at the center during the national day on September 22, 2023. The event was managed by young high schoolers from schools across the region and they did a marvelous job. All events were perfectly organized and designed for the national day. We had dinner at one of the many restaurants, Thank You Chef Banan Al Majed and Head Chef Shadab Alam. Well organized, highly recommended

The structure of building really amazing.the best part is you can spent your quality time in library and by paying 35 SAR you can see museum which has so many historic islamic equipments the best part you can experience view of makkah and madinah via virtual reality (VR).and you can see history of saudi Aramco.
