Al-Ahsa governorate, Administrative governorate in Eastern Province, Saudi Arabia
Al-Ahsa is an administrative region in Saudi Arabia's Eastern Province that covers a wide area of date palm plantations and farmland. The landscape is shaped by numerous natural springs that feed an intricate system of irrigation channels throughout the territory.
The region shows evidence of human settlement from around 5,000 years ago, with Phoenician tombs discovered in coastal areas nearby. These early connections to ancient trade routes demonstrate the area's long-standing importance.
The region has long been a center for traditional crafts, where potters and weavers continue practices passed down through families. Walking through local workshops, you can see artisans at work using methods that have changed little over centuries.
An international airport and modern highway network connect the region to major Saudi cities. Visitors will find well-developed infrastructure for exploring different areas and traveling across the territory.
The Al-Hasa Oasis is one of the world's largest and is sustained by hundreds of natural springs fed by underground water sources. This abundance of water supports one of the country's densest concentrations of date palm groves.
