al-Ḥasā (English spelling)

Japanese: ハサー(英語表記)al‐Ḥasā
al-Ḥasā (English spelling)
A region in the central eastern Arabian Peninsula that is now part of Saudi Arabia's Eastern Province. Located between the Dakhna Desert and the Persian Gulf, it is home to many springs and oases. Since the discovery of oil in 1938, the coastal areas have become one of the world's leading oil-producing regions. Inland, oasis agriculture produces date palms, and nomadic pastoralism is also practiced, but in recent years, large-scale irrigation has led to the development of farmland. Historically, Hufuf was the central city, but in 1953, Dammam became the capital of the Eastern Province.
