10 Most Incredible Ancient Oases in the World
Welcome back!
Springing up from arid deserts and desolate, isolated locations, oases have been vital in providing life and sustenance to all forms of creatures, animals and humans alike since ancient times. Here are 10 of the most incredible and magnificent oases in the world.

Bahariya Oasis
El-Waha, el-Bahariya, or Bahariya (meaning the “northern oasis”) is an oasis in Egypt about 300 miles (500 kilometers) from Cairo, set in the lowest point in Egypt in a depression covering over 1250 sq. miles (2000 sq. kilometers), and the least technologically advanced Oasis in the country.

The Bahariya Oasis and much of today’s Libyan Desert was once the floor of an immense ocean, but since approximately 3,000 BC to now, very little rainfall graces the area, so groundwater is its life blood.
Most of the villages and cultivated land can be seen from the top of the 165 foot (50 meter) high Jebel al-Mi’ysrah, along with the massive dunes which threaten to engulf some of the older settlements.

Bawiti is the largest village in the oasis and the administrative center with its picturesque hillside quarter overlooking lush palm groves irrigated by the Ain al-Beshmo — a natural spring carved from the rock in Roman times which gushes water at 90 degrees F (30 C). Qasr is Bawiti’s neighboring twin village, and the near-by village of al-Qast was built on the remains of a 26th dynasty temple at Qarat Hilwah where you can still see tombs with paintings dating from the same period.
To the east, about 6 miles (10 kilometers) away are the villages of Mandishah and el Zabu. A smaller village called Aguz lies between Bawiti and Mandishah. Harrah, the eastern most village, is a few kilometers east of Mandishah and el Zabu.

The ruins of a temple to Alexander the Great is located within the Bahariya Oasis where it’s believed by some Egyptologists that the Greek conqueror passed through Bahariya while returning from the oracle of Ammon at Siwa Oasis. Excavations of the Greco-Roman necropolis — known as the Valley of the Golden Mummies — began in 1996 with about 34 tombs that have been excavated from the area.

The local Wahati people are the descendants of the ancient people who inhabited the oasis, Bedouin tribes from Libiya and the north coast, and other people from the Nile Valley who came to settle in the oasis.

Farafra Oasis
Arguably claimed to be the smallest oasis in Western Egypt, the Farafra Oasis is famed for one of Egypt’s foremost nature attractions in Farafra’s depression — the White Desert known as Sahara el Beyda, located in the Libyan Desert 112 miles (180 kilometers) south of the Bahariya Oasis and 335 miles (540 kilometers) southwest of Cairo.

The White Desert of Egypt is located 28 miles (45 kilometers) north of Farafra. The desert has a white, cream color and is inundated with massive sparkling white chalk rock formations created as a result of sandstorms.
The main settlement is Qasr Farafra, with about 5,000 inhabitants living within its single village. Areas of the village have complete quarters of traditional architecture, simple, smooth, unadorned, and all in mud color.

The oldest identified settlements go back to Roman times, with indications to have been part of ancient Libya rather than the Ancient Egyptian culture and civilization.
There are several hot springs near Farafra including Bir Setta, and even a small lake named El-Mufid lake.

Qatif Oasis
Qatif or Al-Qatif — also spelled Qateef or Al-Qateef — is one of the largest and oldest oases in the world, dating back to 3,500 BC in the late Bronze Age, famous for its springs and palm trees and the large Shi’i community that has caused much tension located on the western shore of the Persian Gulf in the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia.
Photo Alialzaher2009
It’s a green oasis surrounded by a jungle of palm trees with rich agricultural soil. Springs are abundant in the Oasis of Qatif, with some springs found in the midst of its waters. On the west lies the Al-Dahna Desert with its golden sands intermingled with small rocky heights, and the Persian Gulf to the east with its warm and calm waters rich of marine life and pearls.
Qatif functioned as the main town and port in this region of the Gulf for centuries, and was famous for spear making. It was called Cateus by the Greeks, and some early European maps labeled the entire present-day Persian Gulf as the “Sea of El Catif”.

Qatif oasis and the nearby island of Tarout are some of the most interesting tourist and archeological sites in the Kingdom.
An amazing site not to be missed is the Tarut Citadel, built over 5000-year old settlements, constructed around 1515 to 1521 AD, with its hidden passages and high towers that were used to protect the city from Portuguese attackers.

Ein Gedi Oasis
Ein Gedi is an oasis located west of the Dead Sea, the lowest point on earth, some 400 m. below sea level, close to Masada and the caves of Qumran in the West Bank, and known for its springs and rich diversity of flora and fauna. It has an internationally acclaimed botanical garden covering an area of 24.7 acres with more than 900 species of plants from all over the world.
Photo Wheelo50411
Ein Gedi is mentioned several times in biblical writings, such as the Song of Songs. According to Jewish tradition, David hid from Saul in the caves here. Book of Joshua enumerates Ein Gedi among the cities of the Tribe of Judah in the desert Betharaba, but the Book of Ezekiel shows that it was also a fisherman’s town.
A kibbutz, founded in 1956, is located about a kilometer from the oasis that offers various tourist attractions and takes advantage of the abundance of natural water to cultivate produce. Prior to the founding of the kibbutz, the Ein Gedi area had not been permanently inhabited for 500 years.

The indigenous Jewish town of Ein Gedi was a major source of balsam for the Greco-Roman world until its destruction by Byzantine emperor Justinian as part of his persecution of the Jews in his realm. A beautiful synagogue mosaic still remains, including a Judeo-Aramaic inscription warning inhabitants against “revealing the town’s secret” to the outside world — the methods for extraction and preparation of the much-prized balsam resin.
Between the 13th century and the Israeli War of Independence, Ein Gedi was inhabited at various times by both Jews and Bedouin Arabs.
In April 1848, Lieutenant William Francis Lynch led an American expedition down the Jordan River into the Dead Sea and renamed it George Washington Spring.

Ein Gedi National Park is one of the most important reserves in Israel, situated on the eastern border of the Judean Desert on the Dead Sea coast, covering an area of 6,250 acres, which was founded in 1972. The elevation of the land ranges from the level of the Dead Sea at 1,371 feet 418 meters) below sea level to the plateau of the Judean Desert at 655 feet (200 meters) above sea level.
The National Park has 2 spring-fed streams with flowing water year-round — Nachal David (David Stream) and Nachal Arugot (Arugot Stream), as well as 2 other springs, the Shulamit and Ein Gedi springs. Together the springs generate about 3,000,000 cubic meters of water a year which is used for agriculture and bottled for consumption.
The park is a sanctuary for many types of plant, bird and animal species. The many species of resident birds are supplemented by over 200 additional species during the migration periods in the spring and fall.

In the summer of 2005, nearly two-thirds of the oasis burned to the ground after a tourist dropped a lit cigarette onto the park grounds.

Al-Hasa Oasis
Famed for being the largest groundwater-fed oasis in the world and possibly the most fascinating, the Al-Hasa oasis has been inhabited since ancient times, being the only water source in a vast arid region, located 40 miles (65 kilometers) inland from the Persian Gulf, with a surface of roughly 75 sq. miles (120 sq. kilometers).
Photo Mohsiin
In ancient times, Al-Hasa was at the center of the trade routes which traders followed between the east of the Arabian peninsula and India, Persia and the Far East.
The Oasis has a dry tropical climate, with a 5-month summer and relatively cold winter, enjoying the benefits of copious reserves of underground water.
The wind carries and deposits tons of sand over the land, so the Kingdom has planted large barriers of trees to prevent the wind-borne sand from damaging inhabited and agricultural areas, which also adds a bit more shade and coolness.
The Al-Hasa region derives its name from the oasis at its center, stretching north to Kuwait, out to the Persian Gulf, ending in the south with the Rub al-Khali — the Empty Quarter — and the ad-Dahna desert in the west. The region has an estimated population of 3.4 million, which accounts for more than 95% of the total population of the Eastern Province.

There are about 50 traditional Arabian villages spread around the oasis.
Al-Hasa is part of the region known historically as Al-Bahrayn, which included the eastern coast of the Arabian Peninsula down to the borders of Oman, and also included the island of Awal, modern-day Bahrain.
The main cities of Al-Hasa region are Dammam out on the coast — a new, modern urban area thriving from the oil industry — Hofuf which is the chief town administrated as the Eastern Province, and Mubarraz which lies north of Al-Hasa Oasis.
The region is the home of some of the richest oil fields in the world. In 1938, petroleum deposits were discovered near Dammam, resulting in rapid modernization of the region, and by the early 1960′s, production levels reached 1,000,000 barrels a day.
One of the region’s few strategic and economic prizes prior to the oil era, Al-Hasa has been controlled from Al-Hufuf in the past 2 centuries by Ottomans, Egyptians, the Bani Khalid tribe, and the Al Saud family.
Huacachina Oasis
Called the “oasis of America,” Huacachina is a little town built around a small lake in the desert in the Ica Region in southwestern Peru, located in the Ica Province near the city of Ica in the Ica District with a whopping population of 115 in 1999.

Legend has it that the lagoon was created when a beautiful native princess was apprehended at her bath by a young hunter. She fled, leaving the pool of water she had been bathing in to become the lagoon. The folds of her mantle streaming behind her as she ran became the surrounding sand dunes, and she’s said to still live in the oasis as a mermaid.

Huacachina serves as a resort for local families from the nearby city of Ica, renowned worldwide for being the picture-perfect oasis in any mirage, and increasingly becoming an attraction for tourists drawn by the sport of sandboarding on sand dunes that stretch several hundred feet high.
There are sand tours on sand buggies where you can explore the surroundings, and you can also see the surreal images of ancient whales’ skeleton fossils uncovered by the wind and rain.

Gaberoun Oasis
Gaberoun — also spelled as Gaber Awhn, Gabr Awhn, Gabr Own, and Gabraun — is an oasis with a large lake located in the municipality Sabha in the Libyan Sahara. Now lying in ruins, the old Bedouin settlement by the western shore of the lake has been abandoned. A rudimentary tourist camp is situated on the northeastern shore, with an open patio and sleeping huts.
Photo Iturrate
A small tribe inhabited the oasis, with the ruins of their settlement scattered between the palms at the northwestern shore of the lake. They were moved in the 1980′s to a new location outside the sand dunes in the Wadi Bashir south of the erg, a settlement of concrete apartments built specifically for the resettlement of the tribe.
The oasis is accessible from the Sabha-Ubari road 93 miles (150 kilometers) west of Sabha and north in the sand dunes at the settlement of Qasr Larocu by a 22 mile (36 kilometer) 4-wheel-drive ride through the dunes of the Awbari sand sea — also called Ramlat al Dauada.
Mzab Oasis
The M’zab or Mzab, (Tumzabt Aghlan) is a region of the northern Sahara, in the Ghardaia wilaya “province” of Algeria, around 500km south of Algiers. The Mzab itself is a limestone plateau, centered around the Wad Mzab (Oued Mzab). The intense heat during the summer makies it one of the hottest areas of the world.

There are 5 qsur — “walled villages” — located on rocky outcrops along the Wəd Mzab rising out from the desolate Sahara collectively known as the Pentapolis — Ghardaïa Tagherdayt, the principal settlement today, Beni Isguen At Isjen, Melika At Mlishet, Bounoura At Bunur, and El-Ateuf Tajnint. Adding the more recent settlements of Bérianne and El Guerara, the Mzab Heptapolis is completed.
In the summer the Mzabites migrated to ‘summer citadels’ centered around palm grove oases. Each citadel has a fortress-like mosque, whose minaret served as a watchtower. Houses of standard size and type were constructed in concentric circles around the mosque. This is one of the major oasis groups of the Sahara Desert, and is bounded by arid country known as chebka, crossed by dry river beds.

The Mozabites are a branch of a large Berber tribe — the Iznaten — which lived in large areas of middle southern Algeria. Many Tifinagh letters and symbols are engraved around the Mzab Valley.
After the Islamic conquest, the Mozabites became Muslims of the Mu’tazili school. After the fall of the Rostemid state, the Rostemid royal family with some of their citizens took to the Mzab Valley as their refuge, but the Rostemids were Ibadi and sent a preacher who successfully converted the indigenous Mozabites.
France annexed the Mzab in 1882 as part of their North African colonies, and the territory became part of Algeria upon Algerian independence in 1962.
The Mzab Valley was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1982 as an intact example of traditional human habitat perfectly adapted to the environment.

Siwa Oasis
The Siwa — or Siwah — is an oasis in Egypt about 50 miles (80 kilometers) long and 12 miles (20 kilometers) wide, located between the Qattara Depression and the Egyptian Sand Sea in the Libyan Desert, nearly 30 miles (50 kilometers) east of the Libyan border and 348 miles (560 kilometers) from Cairo.
Siwa Oasis is one of Egypt’s isolated settlements, with 23,000 people, mostly ethnic Berbers who speak a distinct language of the Berber family known as taSiwit. Tourism has become a vital source of income, with much attention given to creating hotels that use local materials and play on local styles.
The ancient fortress of Siwa — known as the Shali Ghali — was built of natural rock made of salt, mud-brick and palm logs. Three days of heavy rain in 1926 were enough to destroy the city of Shali. Although now mostly abandoned and ‘melted,’ the ruins remain a prominent feature and maintain the morbid beauty of the 13th century city, towering 5 storeys above the modern town.
Other local historic sites include the remains of the oracle temple, the Gebel al Mawta — the Mountain of the Dead — a Roman-era necropolis featuring dozens of rock-cut tombs, and “Cleopatra’s Bath,” an antique natural spring.

Prior to his campaign of conquest in Persia, Alexander the Great reached the oasis allegedly by following birds across the desert. The oracle is said to have confirmed him as both a divine personage and the legitimate Pharaoh of Egypt.

It was in here that Alexandra the Great consulted the Oracle of Amun and was answered by the priest/oracle through a hole in the wall. There would have been a statue of Amun in front of the hole so that it seemed as if the answer was coming from the statue. This may seem a bit of a confidence trick, but although the Oracle was a man he was supposed to be a channel for the god Amun, the “Hidden One.”
The fragmentary remains of the oracle temple with some inscriptions dating from the 4th century BC lie within the ruins of Aghurmi. The revelations of the oracle fell into disrepute under the Roman occupation of Egypt.

Although the oasis is known to have been settled since at least the 10th millennium BC, the earliest evidence of connection with ancient Egypt is the 26th Dynasty, when a necropolis was established.
Greek settlers at Cyrene made contact with the oasis around the 7th century BC, and the oracle temple of Ammon (Zeus Ammon) was already famous during the time of Herodotus.
The Romans later used Siwa as a place of banishment. Evidence of Christianity at Siwa is dubious, but in 708 the Siwans resisted an Islamic army, and did not likely convert until the 12th century. A local manuscript mentions only 7 families totaling 40 men living at the oasis in 1203.

The first European to visit since Roman times was the English traveler William George Browne in 1792, who came to see the ancient temple of the oracle.
The oasis was officially added to Egypt by Muhammad Ali of Egypt in 1819, but his rule was tenuous and marked by several revolts.
Siwa was the site of some fighting during World War I and World War II. The British Army’s Long Range Desert Group was based here, and Rommel’s Afrika Korps also took possession 3 times. German soldiers went skinny dipping in the lake of the oracle, which was considered a sacrilege.

Tozeur Oasis
Tozeur is a large oasis and the capital city of the Tozeur Governorate in southwest Tunisia, located northwest of Chott el-Djerid, in between Chott and the smaller Chott el-Gharsa, famous for its yellow-brownish brick architecture with hundreds of thousands of palm trees.
Photo J4nf1
Known in antiquity as Tusuros, the oasis was an important Roman outpost, and was significant for the transportation through the Sahara in ancient times before the advent of motorized vehicles, which took place in caravans.
In the medina (old city) of Tozeur, you can still find traditional architecture with fascinating patterns in simple and rich geometric designs forming the façades of most buildings as well as the new tourist zone. The old town of Ouled El Hwadef is a magnificent example of the local brick work.
Mandated by the local government, the old town narrow streets, walls and facades were decorated with bricks resulting in one of the most distinct and beautiful architectural styles of Tunisia, which took more than 10 years to complete.

Abu Yazid Mukhallad ibn Kayrad, nicknamed Saheb Al Himar led a mostly Berber revolution against the Fatimid ruler. The revolution was nearly a success, but was eventually crushed. Sahib Al Himar was caught hiding in a cave and ordered to be executed, skinned and stuffed with cotton. His mutilated body was put on display at the southern main entrance to El Mahdia — a Tunisian coastal city — where he initially began his revolution by implanting his spear in the very same door a few years earlier.

The government initiated 2 large scale projects which are slowly leading to the decay of the old oasis and incremental to causing extinction of the endemic fishes and small animals, most of them either now gone or severely endangered with no protection.
Tozeur’s oasis has traditionally been irrigated based on an open surface canal system designed in the 1200′s by the famous engineer Ibn Chabbat which is currently being replaced by an ‘eye sore’ system of concrete pipes.
Most natural springs that Tozeur is very famous for that supported a delicate ecological system are being depleted from tapping of deep aquifers by wells, which counted more than 2,500 a few decades ago.
The second project entails a futile effort for the initiation of new (young) oases around town, but poor planning, corruption, lack of skilled workers and disregard to local traditions places the natural springs in jeopardy.

Tourism is heavily developed and promoted, and Tozeur is considered a center of “desert tourism,” where the “International Festival of Oases” takes place in November / December of every year. From Tozeur you can take trips by camel to explore the Sahara Desert and get to know the Chott el-Djerid.

I hope that these sites will be preserved. It doesn’t just craddle a culture of a certain age but it depicts beauty amidst the ruins as well…
great collection. It is amazing anyone would want to live in such harsh climates. Oases are like gold to animals and people alike.
This is an AMAZING study of a world outside my own.. my oh my I am overwhelmed.. stunning! I am passing this on to my daughter who is a teacher. She is teaching ancient civilization this year.. she will love this. I LOVE this! Thank you! Kathy
I am not sure if you got the bounderies of Qatif correct. What you describe basically extends over an area of 100 by 100 miles or more! This area isn’t traditionally called Qatif, and it’s hardly an oasis, but rather a desert. However Qatif is located within this region and it is an oasis.
They are really amazing. My favorite is Huacachina Oasis. Thanks for the collection
Thanks Kathy, glad you enjoyed it
Thanks Rami
Since the source proved to be unreliable, I’ve simply deleted it altogether. If I’m able to find something else that better confirms its expanse I’ll add it.
The Huacachina Oasis may be small, but it is indeed postcard-perfect Marky
I’m awed by siwa oasis. Very instructive post. Love it. Thanks
Awesome collection of pictures and information. I hadn’t realized that these oases were so large!
Amazing places, amazing photos.
I know absolutely nothing about oases, so I found this particularly interesting. They really are amazing….and really, really beautiful! You always come up with such interesting topics, Deborah!
Those are some amazing pictures! The Farafra Oasis has been on my list of places to possibly visit because of the White Desert. I think that the pictures are reinforcing that, and some of the other ones (like Siwa) look quite impressive too. Actually, they all look quite impressive.
As a side note: Brule’s going to be an excellent player if he can regain his confidence. He was just dynamite in juniors.
What amazing pictures! Thanks for sharing! I love Oases, living so near Palm Springs, but it never occured to me that there have such history.
I’m awed by siwa oasis. Very instructive post. Love it. Thanks
I have no words to explain the beauty that i just saw in these pics. It really looks great. I am surely going to try my best to visit Bahariya Oasis. I have heard a lot about it till now but after seeing your pics, i think i should see it in reality.
Excellent post, and so comprehensive, I can’t say theye are anywhere I would want to live, but to visit would be a dream…
I loved almost every photos in this thread, that’s why I have tagged it on my del.icio.us and will spread the words to my friends!
Nice and breathtaking oases sceneries…
Wow, this is quite an extensive post. And to think I take a glass of water for such granted, each and every day. These whole towns were built around oases!
Wow I need to travel more and visit some of these places. There is so much in the world to check out and not many people actually go and see these things.
AWESOME IMAGES.
I HOPE I WOULD BE STAND IN THE SENSE IN PERSON SOME DAYS.
These pictures are soamazing and they are really so beautiful! You always come up with such interesting articles
Most of the villages and cultivated land can be seen from the top of the 165 foot (50 meter) high Jebel al-Mi’ysrah,

Thank you. I am from the heart of Qatif Oasis. I was born in a house built from sea stones full of sea shells
My house is now abandoned but still there with an age of more than 300 years. The name Qatif was also given to the Persian Gulf years ago. After the discovery of oil, thi oasis was ignored bu the government who demolished its biggest castle in the Gulf (Al Qalaa Castle). New cities like Dhahran, Dammam and Khubar have been given more attention as they are hosting all forigners coming from other areas of Arabian Peninsula.
At the end, I love my Oasis
yay! Qatif! my home!
the best place ever!
