Did You Know?
Dammam Well No. 7 struck oil in commercial quantities in March 1938 after six earlier wells had failed. It produced for some forty-five years, until 1982, and is the reason the modern Saudi state exists in the form it does.
The clock: Dammam keeps UTC+3 on the Gulf coast, and the causeway to Bahrain puts a different country within an hour's drive on the same working morning.
Dammam lies at 50.1°E. Its time zone, UTC+3, is built around the 45°E meridian. The 5.1° gap between them means the clock runs roughly 20 minutes behind the sun: solar noon arrives at about 11:40 rather than 12:00. The zone holds UTC+3 all year — there is no daylight saving here.
The longest day of 2026 is 22 June, with 13h 48m of daylight. The shortest is 22 December, with 10h 29m. The swing between them is 3h 19m. At this latitude the seasons are visible in the clock, but never dramatic.
The earliest sunrise and the latest sunset do not land on the longest day. In Dammam the sun comes up earliest on 10 June at 04:46, while the latest sunset waits until 3 July at 18:36. The equation of time is what separates them: the Earth's elliptical orbit and axial tilt move solar noon back and forth by several minutes over the year.
The sky stays usably light for a while after the sun goes down. In Dammam that civil twilight runs about 23 minutes at the equinox.
Every figure in this section is computed from the city's own latitude, longitude and IANA time zone using NOAA solar algorithms (Spencer, 1971), accurate to about ±2 arcminutes below 65° latitude.
