Aloha people!
I plan to go to Al Khobar from Riyadh over the weekend. What is the best way to go there? I am up for travel via train/comfortable bus/cab. Please suggest.

Thanks!

The VIP Express bus leaves 2 or 3x a day right outside the Sahara Compound on Olaya.  The ticket office is right next to the Fred Perry shop.

Here are the google maps coordinates:  24.699829,46.681359

I agree this is best way if you don't own a car or can't rent it.

Train took me around 4.5 hrs and bus too 5.5 hrs. Train first class costed 130 SAR and bus was 60 SAR. Though i think train is a better option. much comfortable.
