About Al-Ahsa Oasis
Al-Ahsa, a UNESCO-listed oasis in eastern Saudi Arabia, is the largest natural palm oasis in the world, with millions of date palms fed by natural springs across the desert landscape. Ancient irrigation canals, the hilltop Qara Mountain caves, and a centuries-old souq selling dates and pottery give the oasis a timeless feel rarely found elsewhere on the Arabian Peninsula.
