Saudi’s Al Ahsa Has Entered the Guinness World Records
It has been a moment of pride for every Saudi that Saudi Arabia’s Al Ahsa Oasis has entered the Guinness World Records as the largest self-contained oasis in the world.
The oasis has more than 2.5 million palm trees and is fed from a huge underground aquifer
This allows agriculture all year round in a region that is mainly sand.
Before Al-Ahsa entered the Guinness Book of Records, it was registered as the fifth Saudi site to make it to the UNESCO World Heritage list.
