Unusual green spot on top of the sand dune, Qatar

This is quite unusual, at least for me that in the dry bone desert, the large green plant (seems its a Mimosa family...i need to check again) living on top of sand dune. There is no sign of water presence near by, but could be deep in side.

The GPS location: 25o 25.080'N 51o 24.799"E
You can reach at the end of asphalt road Sealine Resort round-about. Take direction to 3:00 o'clock toward reaching roand-about and follow straight to this coordinate. It take about 30 minute from sea-line. Requirement: 4x4 car.
