“The beautiful Jawatha Mosque was the earliest mosque built in east Arabia and most of the original structure is in ruins, but it’s very peaceful and still used for prayer. I’d recommend paying a visit to Al-Mulla House as well. The stunning King Abdulla Park is worth a visit, as a large recreation and nature area, while the Ibrahim Palace nearby is a spot of impressive cultural significance. Of course I must say the Coral Al Ahsa Hotel has an array of great menu choices including Thursdays’ Shrimp and Crabs and Fridays’ Oriental Food and Mixed Grill, for delicious dining.”
