A dream of paradise.
(Ibrahim Alabdulmohsin informs me: this spring is called "Um Saba", (which literally means "a mother of seven"). It was called this way because the main spring feeds seven small rivers that extend to large distances within Al-Hassa oasis, and you can see some of them in the picture. This spring has been magnificent in the distant past but, like most other springs in Al-Hassa, it is drying up unfortunately.
