Great pictures ... Al-Ahsa - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Al-Ahsa (or Al-Hasa) may refer to: Al-Ahsa or Al-Hasa - an oasis region in eastern Saudi Arabia; Al-Ahsa Governorate - the administrative unit that includes ...etc etc and the gateway to the UAE ETC... Great dagger but I am unsure as to its name as it is so close to a Khanjar (Omani) but absolutely Saudia for sure... They probably call it a Jambiyya.
