Jubail has the Industrial City, run by the Royal Commission for Jubail and Yanbu, as well as hotels such as InterContinental Al Jubail and Golden Tulip Al Jubail and the beach at Fanateer. Send us the exact address, compound, hotel or plant gate, because they are spread out.
Where does the driver meet you at DMM?
DMM has a single terminal with international and domestic piers. For international flights, the meeting point is the international arrivals exit, next to the car rental desks, where your driver holds a name board. If you arrive on a domestic flight, send us the flight number and we confirm where to meet.
We track your flight, and the driver waits free for 60 minutes after landing, with no extra charge for airline delays. Night arrivals are common at DMM and our dispatch runs 24/7. Our Dammam Airport guide covers the terminal itself.

Gate passes and drop-offs in Jubail Industrial City
Plant drop-offs in Jubail Industrial City need gate passes. Tell us the company, the gate number and a site contact when you book. If you do not have your pass yet, the driver drops you at the gate, so arrange for your host to meet you there.
If you are going to a compound or a hotel, the driver takes you to the door. Give the compound name as well as the street address, because the gate is what matters.
Rotations, new hires and visitors
Companies can put all of this on a corporate account: staff airport runs, executive cars and site shuttles on one monthly invoice with VAT, with a dedicated dispatcher and trip reports per cost centre. For a whole crew, a group bus seats 22 to 50 people and costs SAR 530 from the airport to Jubail.
For daily shuttles between housing and plants, our article on staff shuttles in Jubail and Yanbu explains how monthly contracts work, and our page for industrial cities covers company accounts.
