Dammam · Saudi Arabia
PeeringDB records no internet exchange in Dammam. Five colocation facilities hold seven network presences between them, with center3 DMM2 at three and center3 DMM1 at two. Quantum Switch DMM B lists none. An address that geolocates to Dammam tells you where an operator registered the block, not where a device sits.
Colocation facilities
Buildings where networks put equipment. The network count is how many PeeringDB members list a presence there, which shows where capacity in the city sits.
| Facility | Networks present | Address |
|---|---|---|
| center3 DMM2 - Dammam | 3 | not listed |
| center3 DMM1 - Dammam | 2 | not listed |
| Quantum Switch DMM A | 1 | 6961 Road 01 King Salman Energy Park |

What a Dammam IP address tells you
Whatever capacity Dammam has sits in colocation rather than at an exchange. PeeringDB lists no exchange in the city and zero peer records, so seven network presences across five facilities are the whole recorded picture. center3 DMM2 holds three of them and center3 DMM1 two, while Quantum Switch DMM A and Nournet Dammam Data Centre DAM-DC-3 hold one each. Quantum Switch DMM B lists no networks. No mobile ASN from the Saudi carrier registry appears in any Dammam record.
A Dammam geolocation rests on thinner evidence than a Riyadh or Jeddah one. With no exchange in the city, the operator's registry entry is the only thing placing an address here. Operators announce blocks from a single registered address, and mobile traffic from the eastern part of the country can leave through gateways in another city entirely. Geolocation databases copy the operator's published location, so the label follows paperwork rather than routing.
Anyone checking a Dammam address should start with the origin ASN and the netname on the specific prefix, not on the parent allocation. Compare the announcing network against the five Dammam facilities. Most networks holding addresses labelled Dammam will not appear in that list, because seven presences cover very little. A block can carry a Dammam city field in a database while its traffic enters and leaves the country somewhere else.
Questions
Are there internet exchanges in Dammam?
PeeringDB records none. The city's entries are five colocation facilities holding seven network presences between them, and the peer count for Dammam is zero. Public peering by networks present in the city is not recorded in Dammam itself.
Which data centres in Dammam list networks?
Four of the five. center3 DMM2 lists three networks, center3 DMM1 lists two, and Quantum Switch DMM A and Nournet Dammam Data Centre DAM-DC-3 list one each. Quantum Switch DMM B appears in the registry with no network presence recorded.
Does an IP that geolocates to Dammam mean the device is there?
No. The city comes from the address block's registry record and from databases that repeat it. With no exchange in Dammam and seven network presences in total, a Dammam label is weak evidence of local routing, and the origin ASN on the prefix is more informative.
