Dammam serves Saudi Arabia's Eastern Province and the Gulf coast, and is one of the main destinations for Sri Lankan workers. Flights from Colombo take around 6 hours 30 minutes direct, with cheaper one-stop options via the Gulf.

SriLankan Airlines, Saudia and flynas operate the route. We help with the right ticket class and baggage for a long work posting, and can advise on your Saudi visa or iqama.

Colombo to Dammam ticket prices & the cheapest time to fly

Dammam fares from Colombo start from around LKR 115,000 return and move with the season. Here's how to get the cheapest Dammam ticket:

  • Book 4–8 weeks ahead — that's when the lowest Dammam fares are usually released.
  • Skip the peaks — the dearest dates are the April (Avurudu) and December holidays; May–June and September–October are typically the cheapest months to fly.
  • Stay flexible by a day or two — mid-week departures often beat weekend prices.
  • Let us compare every airline — we quote all carriers on CMB → DMM, so you see the genuinely lowest price, not just the first result.

Tell us your dates and we'll reply with the cheapest available Dammam fare — usually the same working day.
