A UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2018, Al-Ahsa blends cultural heritage with natural beauty, featuring historic sites like Qaisariya Souq and Al-Qara Mountain caves alongside modern developments. Its unique ecosystem and centuries-old traditions make it a vital center for agriculture and tourism in the region.
