I have been asked yesterday by a reader commented on my post titled High dynamic range imaging (HDR) and Islamic Architecture to post more photos so i decided to choose another area from my dear country ,that's area is Alhasa . All the photos here are from flickr
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" .
The Al-Hasa oasis is the largest oasis in the Kingdom, it is one of the seven natural wonders of the world .Today I will show some of Alhasa BEAUTY.
