If you are curious about science, technology and how things work, Alkhobar is sure to spark your imagination. On the city’s Corniche Road you can find the Sultan bin Abdul Aziz Science and Technology Center, also called Scitech, where you can learn all about science and the universe.
It is the perfect destination for a family trip, as all ages can enjoy interactive exhibits that make the learning experience more interesting — and fun.
The center has seven main halls containing 350 science and technology exhibits. Many of them feature demonstrations or give visitors the chance to perform experiments that help provide a better understanding of the subjects; for example, one exhibit devoted to the science of earthquakes includes a room in which you can stand while it shakes in the same way it would during an earthquake.
Scitech is a great example of education at its finest. It includes an IMAX theater in which documentaries about animals and astronomy are screened, an aquarium and an astronomical observatory where visitors can earn about the universe.
Often described as the perfect place to take tech-savvy children who are interested in science and Arabian history and culture, the center is a unique venue and is definitely worth a visit.
