Train or car? An honest comparison
The Riyadh–Dammam train is a good train. If you're travelling alone with a carry-on and the station suits you, take it: a seat costs much less than a private car. Here's where a car makes more sense:
- Door-to-door
- Train: No. Riyadh station to Dammam station, stopping at Hofuf and Abqaiq
- Noorha car: Yes, from your door in Riyadh to your door or terminal
- Reaching DMM airport
- Train: No rail link: Dammam station is 43 km from KFIA, so you need another ride
- Noorha car: Straight to departures
- Time
- Train: About 4 h on the train, plus getting to Riyadh station and from Dammam station
- Noorha car: About 4 h door to door
- Timing
- Train: Fixed departures, and they sell out at busy times
- Noorha car: We leave when your flight needs you to
- Luggage
- Train: What you can carry on board
- Noorha car: Up to 7 large bags in the XL
- Groups
- Train: Price per seat
- Noorha car: One price for the car: 3–4 people often pay less per head
