All the beautiful Osis in the world
The emerald green delta is an astounding phenomenon
that evokes awe. It has customarily been dubbed the
jewel of the Kalahari and as the miracle delta. The
Okavango delta is Botswana’s lifeline and it is no
exaggeration that it is indeed its ‘Garden of Eden’.
In these unadulterated lands, all forms of life- man,
wildlife, birds, and plants – draw life from its pure waters.

Huacachina (Peru)
Shimmering beneath the scorching sun of the Peruvian desert is an extraordinary sight - a tiny settlement, complete with lagoon, lush palm groves, carob trees, cafes, neatly clipped lawns, 100-strong population and even the odd swimming pool. For thousands of years, Huacachina, otherwise known as the ‘oasis of Americas' - there is only one - has been a beacon of green, hidden deep amid hundreds of miles of barren desert.
Ein Gedi (Israel)
En Gedi is the largest oasis along the western shore of the Dead Sea. The springs here have allowed nearly continuous inhabitation of the site since the Chalcolithic period.Chebika Oasis (Tunisia)
Chebika belongs to the collection of unlikely desert oases of the mountains north of the great Tunisian chotts. Least famous, Chebika offers perhaps the most effective and dramatic experience among them.Timia Oasis (Niger)
Timia Oasis, located on the Aïr Mountains (northern Niger), is billed as the most beautiful oasis in the country for a reason. It is not quite the image of a pool of water amidst the sand-dunes with a couple of palm-trees on either side. Instead it is a rich network of lush gardens in the middle of some of the most hostile terrain on earth- as true an oasis as you'll ever find.Gaberoun (Libya)
Gaberoun is an oasis with a large lake located in the municipality Sabha in the Libyan Sahara. The old Bedouin settlement by the western shore of the lake has been abandoned, and now lays in ruins.Herðubreiðarlindir (Iceland)
On Herðubreið, situated in the Highlands of Iceland in the midst of the desert of Ódáðahraun --a very big lava field originating from eruptions of the volcano Trölladyngja--, lies an oasis called Herðubreiðarlindir with a camp ground and famous hiking trails.
