WhatsApp Business API in Dammam and Khobar

Local numbers

The Eastern Province — Dammam, Khobar, Dhahran, Jubail — uses +966 13, and the Eastern-Province CR is what Meta checks against the trading address. The business here is industrial and B2B: contractors and suppliers to Aramco and SABIC, and the messages are gate-pass numbers, delivery-slot confirmations and document requests to site engineers rather than promotions to consumers. That changes template strategy — almost everything is utility, the 24-hour window rarely opens because the recipient never messages first, and a CST-compliant opt-out line is still required on the rare marketing send.
