The palm canopy of the Al-Ahsa oasis

Eastern Province

The Gulf coast: Al Khobar’s corniche, Dammam’s seafront and Ithra’s galleries at Dhahran. Inland sits Al-Ahsa, the largest oasis on earth, its two and a half million palms fed by springs beneath a UNESCO-listed old town.

Why Eastern Province

The oasis side of the Gulf.

The Eastern Province pairs the Gulf's corniche cities with Al-Ahsa, the largest oasis on earth: two and a half million palms, warm springs, and a UNESCO-listed old town an hour inland from the coast.

Our days here run from Al-Ahsa's caves and souqs to lake safaris, Ithra's galleries, and sea-and-culture days in Dammam, Jubail and Al Khobar. Flat, easy country; it suits families and first visits.
