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 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.
Uqair Beach is a nice place for outdoor fans and sea sports. The sea waters are clear and refreshing and the sand dunes right on the shore-lane gives the area charming view for campers and visitors. All sorts of sea sports are available, jets-skies, surfing, sailing, etc. There are also occasional car racing and dunes cruising. You can also get a chance for a cheap camel, or horse ride which is an unforgettable experience.
