Uqair old port

            Uqair Beach is one of the important tourist spots of  Al-Ahsa province, because of its long history, beautiful scenery, and the old castles.

Uqair old port II

           Uqair was the only port of the Kingdom in the past. It lies about 50 miles northeast of the fertile oasis of Al-Ahsa and its main city Hofuf on the eastern shore of the Persian Gulf. However, if you use the new Uqair- Al-Hasa road which was constructed recently and passes by Al-Jishah town it will be about 35 miles.
