The flags of Eastern Province Municipality with seat in Dammam are white with
the logo centered. There are minor variations in the appearance of the logo, and
other designs may be possible.

"Eastern Province Municipality" can be misleading. From what I recently
understood and unless i'm mistaken, it doesn't refer to the entire Eastern
Province/Sharqiyah but to one of the three "amanates" of the province, centered
on Damman, the other ones being "Alahsa Municipality" (Hassa), centered on
Hofuf, who also has its logo and probably flag, and "Hafar al-Batin
Municipality".
Amanates ( أمانة ) are special municipalities set on the
chief cities of provinces and are generally named after the province (eg. "Asir
Municipality"). Each of them have a logo and, for some, a flag. Currently there
are only one amanate per province, centered on the capital, excepted for Eastern
Province and Mecca province which have 3. So a total of 17.
These should not
be confused with "normal" municipalities like Al-Qunfidah or Al-Zulfi.
