Al Ahsa is the largest governorate in Saudi Arabia's Eastern Province, which name is derived from the oasis at its center after the Al-Ahsa Oasis.
This region is bounded by Kuwait on the north, by the Persian Gulf on the east, by the Empty Quarter desert on the south, and by the Dahnā sand belt on the west.
Al Ahsa is the largest governorate in Saudi Arabia in terms of area as it also includes the giant Empty Quarter desert that has the world's largest oil fields, and connects Saudi Arabia to Qatar, the UAE, and Oman beside the oasis.
