Mystery Oasis found in the Kuwait Desert

While flying back to Kuwait, I came across this mysterious looking Oasis. from the airplane's oval window, it looked like a water park with lots of greenery. There is also a large walled rectangular enclosure right next to it. Does anyone know what that place is? Is that water or an oil spill? and if it was an oil spill, there should be no greenery ?

I am baffled.

Here is the picture I took, click on the picture to see the original size.

That green looks pretty gunky. No trees, just gunk stuff. So what's the walled enclosure; why next to an oil lake?

anon: I thought so also, but how can there be greenery? or are Kuwaiti plants oil proof?

intlpatr: Maybe neoark know, he was there.

Neoark: so what was that house?

jewaira: thanks, and who said having your mobile on during flight could harm the plane, see I am still here.
