The Al-Hasa oasis is the largest oasis in the world. It is located in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and has an area of of about 120 km with a population of 600,000 based on 2003 estimate. The Oasis has a dry and tropical climate, with a five-month summer and a relatively cold winter. Despite being surrounded by desserts, it enjoys the benefits of copious reserves of underground water.
Having an abundant source of water, the central economic activity of the oasis is agriculture. Some of agricultural products are date palms, rice, corn, citrus and other fruits and raising of sheep, goats, cattle and camels also exists making Al-Hasa one of the major food producers in this arid country.

I am from Al-Hasa, and actuly the pictures of the river are not from Al-hasa at Saudi Arabia. They are for a valley in Jourdan called Wadi Al-Hasa.
Wadi means Valley in Arabic.
