Thursday 26 November 2026 Prince Saud bin Jalawi Sports CityUpdated Friday 13 November 2026
The short answer
11 hotels from our mapped pool sit within 8 km of Prince Saud bin Jalawi Sports City. Next up at the venue: Al Qadsiah vs Al Fateh on Thursday 26 November 2026. For that night the cheapest listed room starts around A$96 per night and the median is A$112, -9% against a normal A$123 night. Rates sampled 13 Nov 2026.
Prince Saud bin Jalawi Sports City sits out on the coastal road between Al Khobar and Dammam, in the Al Rakah neighbourhood, so there's no cluster of hotels right outside the gates. Across the 12 hotels we list, none are an easy walk to the stadium, the closest sits 4.59 kilometres away, so plan on a short ride rather than strolling in. Al Khobar Area carries the bulk of the choice, eight hotels spanning three to five stars, good for anyone who wants a wider pick of standards and a proper neighbourhood feel. Dhahran offers three hotels a touch further out, while Dammam itself has just one four-star option, useful if you'd rather base yourself in the city centre and treat match night as a one-off trip out. The stadium hosts Al Qadsiah against Al Fateh on 26 November 2026 in the Saudi Pro League, with further fixtures here in early December, so expect rooms in the closer Al Khobar hotels to book out first.
When to book
The venue has three fixtures listed, Al Qadsiah vs Al Fateh on 26 November 2026, Al Qadsiah vs Neom SC on 1 December 2026, and Al Fateh vs Al Kholood on 3 December 2026, so check which match you want before booking. None of the 12 hotels listed are walkable, so book early in Al Khobar Area if you want the shortest ride to the ground, especially with the stadium's capacity being expanded.

Map: Prince Saud bin Jalawi Sports City and the listed hotels
Getting to Prince Saud bin Jalawi Sports City
King Fahd International Airport is roughly fifty eight kilometres from Al Khobar, with taxis taking about forty minutes and a SAPTCO bus also covering the route. A SAPTCO intercity bus links Al Khobar North 1 station and Dammam Main Station roughly every ten minutes in under an hour, though it doesn't reach the sports city itself, so you'll still need a taxi or ride hailing car for the final leg. Careem and Uber operate across Khobar and Dammam and are the standard way of completing that last mile. The venue sits in the Al Rakah neighbourhood of Al Khobar, on the coastal road to Dammam, with its own on-site parking for drivers. There's no direct rail link yet, with the nearest mainline station about seventeen kilometres away and a Dammam Metro still only planned.
Airport distance and onward options
King Fahd International Airport lies roughly fifty eight kilometres from Al Khobar, with a taxi transfer taking about forty minutes and a SAPTCO bus also serving the route to the Khobar area. Spectators flying in for a night match would normally continue onward by taxi, ride hailing or bus rather than any direct rail link.

SAPTCO intercity bus between Khobar and Dammam
SAPTCO runs a frequent intercity bus, roughly every ten minutes, between Al Khobar North 1 station and Dammam Main Station, taking under an hour. This bus does not stop at the sports city itself, so fans would still need a taxi or ride hailing car for the final leg to the venue.

Ride hailing apps as the main last mile option
Careem and Uber operate throughout the Khobar and Dammam area and are commonly used to reach venues not directly served by public transport. Airport guidance also lists ride hailing services alongside taxis and buses as standard ways of completing a journey into Khobar.

On site car parking at the sports city
The sports city complex includes its own outdoor parking area and yards alongside the main stadium, training grounds and administration buildings. This on site parking is built into the broader multi purpose complex rather than being a separate off site facility.

Venue sits on the Khobar Dammam coastal road
The sports city is in the Al Rakah neighbourhood of Al Khobar on the coastal road linking Al Khobar and Dammam, with the official address also given as King Faisal Road. This means spectators coming from central Dammam are effectively travelling to a neighbouring city rather than within Dammam itself.

No direct rail link, metro still planned
There is currently no train station directly serving the sports city, with the nearest mainline Dammam Railway Station around seventeen kilometres away. A Dammam Metro project intended to improve links between the airport, Dammam and Khobar is planned under Vision 2030 but is not yet operating.

Stadium being redeveloped with new stands for bigger crowds
As part of Asian Cup preparations the stadium is undergoing a full overhaul, with new two storey covered stands added behind the goals and the existing stands enlarged, lifting capacity to about twenty two thousand. The redevelopment also adds extra wheelchair spaces and modern hospitality areas, which will change entry and seating arrangements for future big event nights.
