 Chebika Desert Oasis, Tunisia
 
 The beautiful oasis of Chebika in Tunisia is probably one that most people know about without realizing it. It is where Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope was filmed. The story goes that the oasis was actually named after one of the characters, Chewbacca

 Timia Oasis, Niger
This stunning image shows three men quenching their thirst at a small waterfall in the Saharan oasis of Timia, in Niger. It's a picture perfect portrait of everyday oasis life for local desert dwellers.

 Gobi Desert Oasis
There are always small enclaves or villages dispersed near bodies of water, no matter how small, and this image shows why. Even in desert areas wholes farms can exist with the life giving powers of water.

 Tinerhir Oasis, Morocco
This sprawling oasis is the village of Tinerhir, located at the foothills of Morocco's Atlas Mountains. Todra Gorge and oasis are about 14km away so travellers normally visit both oases on the one trip.

 Oman Desert Oasis
This oasis is hidden in the depths of the Oman desert, where a number of green oases dot the landscape. A few oases in the tiny Sultanate, on the corner of the Arabian Peninsula, are hotspots for botanical studies into agro-biodiversity where many of the ancient oasis are in rapid decline; researchers want to figure out why.

 Nakhl Fort Oasis, Oman
Nakhl Fort sits overlooking a lush, green date-palm oasis in Oman. These impressive forts were strategically placed across much of the Oman desert, like many places, to protect villagers from invasion.
