Dhahran

Home to Saudi Aramco's headquarters and a growing technology and research cluster within the Dammam metropolitan area.

Dhahran hosts Saudi Aramco's headquarters campus and King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals, giving it a corporate, research and technology character within the wider Dammam metropolitan area. Demand here leans toward facilities management, telecom infrastructure and security systems for institutional and research campuses rather than heavy plant construction.

Dhahran's economy is defined by institutional and research infrastructure rather than direct industrial production: Saudi Aramco's headquarters, King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals, and the Dhahran Techno Valley technology cluster together generate demand for facilities management, structured cabling and network infrastructure, and access-controlled security systems at a standard closer to corporate and research campuses than an industrial plant.
