Seek peace under the stars at Terjit Oasis. Lie on a colorful hand-woven rug, surrounded by a stream and palm trees, and in the company of curious locals. The tents at the oasis offer protection from the blazing sun, creating the perfect spot for reading a book or having a picnic. If you wish, you can spend a night in one of the onsite bungalows. You can also pet camels, which live in the improvised zoo at the entrance to the oasis. The site offers simple cooked meals, but you can also bring your own food. Use our Atar trip itinerary builder app to add Terjit Oasis and other attractions to your Atar vacation plans.
