Ein Al-Awda or Al-Aoudeh waterhole is considered to be one of the oldest springheads in the Qatif oasis. It is located east of Tarut Castle. It has been extinct for 4000 years according to what T. Geoffrey Bibby said in his book "Looking For Dilmun" T. Geoffrey Bibby, who is a British archaeologist, was in charge of the Danish mission which searched for antiquities in the region. It was full of little fish and some tortoises and frogs. Tarut's women washed their family's clothes and pots in it and swam in it. Years later, boys would swim in it. Now, it has dried up and is closed.
