Abqaiq Airport
Abqaiq, Saudi Arabia
Abqaiq (Biqayq) is a city in the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia, located in the desert 60 km southwest of the Dhahran-Dammam-Khobar metropolitan area, and north of the Rub' al-Khali, the second largest sand desert in the world also known as the "Empty Quarter". Notably, it is home to a residential community for Saudi Aramco employees and their families. The Abqaiq Saudi Aramco residential community had a population of approximately 1,500 in 2012. Inclusion of the population outside the Saudi Aramco community brings this number closer to 45,000 (2022 census). Abqaiq has organized a Safari Festival since 2017. The 10-day festival aims at presenting the Arab and desert heritage by presenting different shows.
