 It is this vision of utopia, surrounded by barren wasteland that inspired us to catalogue some of the most incredible desert oases before they are devoured by the desert sands and become mirages themselves.

 Ubari Oasis, otherwise known as Gabroun Oasis
 
 Ubari Lakes are part of Erg Awbari Oasis in the Sahara. Located near Fezzan and 30kms north of Germa in Libya, these salt water lakes are a central trading point for many locals, who gather at the edges of the lake selling souvenirs and other goods

 Ubari
 The abandoned city of Gebraoun is also relatively nearby with its impressive ruins. The settlement is testament to the life-sustaining qualities that the lakes once had.

 Garbroun Oasis, Lybian Desert
 Umm Al-Maa, meaning Mother of Water, is one of the largest lakes in the oasis but unfortunately, as with all the lakes, the water table in the area is so low that the lakes are drying up.

 Huacachina: A small desert oasis
 A legend says the lagoon was created when an inquisitive young hunter disturbed a beautiful princess bathing. She fled, leaving the pool of water behind which became the lagoon.
