Achay bachay, JEDDAH is not on the way to Makkah, Jaddah is totally far away from Makkah and you have to go there from makkah..

I still suggest you check with the Saudi embassy here. I believe you will not be able to go to Dammam as it is does not fall in your route. Riyadh and Jeddah are on the route to Makkah and going to these cities may not be a problem for Umrah Visa holders.

I would suggest you make absolutely sure first before you decide to go to Dammam and Qassim. You may do this by checking with the Saudi Embassy here. If you are not allowed and then if you are caught travelling to those cities, it could mean much trouble for you.

To my knowledge, Umrah visa is restricted to Makkah and Medinah. I am saying this because during my last visit an Indonesian lady on Umrah visa was trying to buy a bus ticket in Medinah to go to Dammam as she wished to visit her relative. She was denied the ticket by Saudi Public Transport Company (SAPTCO) and was told she is not allowed to travel to any other city. However, I suggest you check with Hajj & Umrah travel agencies in Doha, and they may be able to guide you on this.
