  • Al-Ahsa Saudi Arabia. We explored the biggest oasis in the world with over 2.5 million date palms. This miracle of life surrounded by desert has to be seen to be believed. We see the landscapes, visit the markets and discover new and wonderful fruits. We meet the people, who, in true Saudi Arabian style make us more than welcome with their warm and friendly hospitality. We also sample some wonderful traditional local dishes. The food in Saudi Arabia is so good!

    Welcome to saudi arabia guys.
    Alahsa was part of one of the oldest civillizations in the middle east and the region has been known as the most fertile on the arabian penunsula for millennia. It was very rich in groundwater to the point where people could literally dig water out with primitive tools. Hence it's famous for public groundwater pools.

    How are you doing mrs Mandy mr lee . I hope you have great time in Saudi Arabia my homeland . I sent comments to you before . Honestly I visited Ahsa before COVID-19 global pandemic. Just some attractions as museum , shopping center , historical market. I just found out that Al-Ahsa oasis is biggest oasis in the world. UNESCO registered world heritage list . It’s most prominent tourists destinations in Saudi Arabia. Rich archaeological landmarks heritage treasure that trace history of human settlements in region since Neolithic. There more than 2.5 million palm trees in oasis , which fed from huge underground aquifer which allows agriculture all year round in region that is otherwise sand desert. Thank you for sharing your trips with us . Honestly there are many places unknown to us . Bon voyage best wishes for you your dearest ones .

    Hi Mandy / Lee.
    Building them irrigation canals was a smart decision from the Saudis.
    Back then they seem to focus on they own people instead of tourists.
    I'm glad that the locals can grow some food and be less dependent on imports.
    Hope you guys are doing OK, wishing you a good week ahead 😎

      Hi Sergio. Yes you can tell that water really is the key ingredient to bringing life to the region. The irrigation canals are a real feat of engineering. Just a short hop from here is pure desert. Here there is food in abundance.
      Have a great week. 👍L&M

    Must a foreigner wear an Abaya in Al ahsa?
    What type of clothing should one pack when coming to Al ahsa.
