Um Al-Sahek

Um Al-Sahek(Arabic:ام الساهك) is a small town in the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia located 10 Kilometers southwest of Ras Tanura. It is known for its natural water springs that allowed agricultural activities to be held. Although a fertile land which is rare in that part of the province it is still undeveloped, and most inhabitants are under poverty. It has schools up to high school level, one police station and a fire station, and two clinics.
