Al-Ahsa is a Saudi province located in the eastern region .It is the largest province of Saudi Arabia.Characterized by the most beautiful environmental reserves and natural elements .It's Natural fresh-water springs have surfaced through the rocky areas encouraging human habitation and agricultural efforts (date palm farming especially) since prehistoric times. Along with their rich nature Alhasa is the largest source of oil in the world and includes many of the oil fields, Ghawar, the most important of which is the largest oilfield and it produce is 65% of thet Kindom oil production ,thats why the title of the city: "an oasis of palm and black gold" .
