  • On my recent trip to Saudi Arabia, I took the train from Riyadh to Dammam with the Saudi Railways Organization. I purchased the ticket online for 79 SAR (21 USD), but the web site only works within Saudi Arabia. I then headed to the Riyadh Railway Station, in the southern part of Riyadh. My assigned seat was technically a window seat, but there was no window at this seat. In this video, I will share my full experience of taking a train in Saudi Arabia.
