Arabiaweather.com- Al-Asfar Lake is located in Al-Ahsa, and its historical name goes back to the east of the Arabian Peninsula.

It consists of agricultural drainage water, which plays a prominent role in the winter, when these drains transport rain water. The lake is surrounded by sand dunes, and access to it is difficult, so there are fewer four-wheel drive vehicles.

Various desert plants grow around the lake. It is also a resting station for the migrations of various birds that cross twice a year. And there live fish that can be seen, and they have multiplied in different sizes as a result of raising awareness not to catch them.
