You should don the ihram from Dammam if you have intention of making Umrah as well.

(Ap kay Masail, Vol.4, Pg.101)

We are unaware of the rivalry and the issues leading to the dispute between the country in which you live (non Islamic country) and the Islamic country. Hence, we cannot comment on the issue and advise that you consult the prominent and reputable Ulama’ of your country.
