"O, that desert were my dwelling place" (Byron)

The word oasis if ofren used to describe a place where you can forget the cares of everyday life, relax rest and renew yourself-Egypt's oases are just that: unspoilt refuges from the modern world, pockets of civilisation in the dramatic setting of the desert Surrounded by sand and sky, the oases have a sense of timelessness rare in the 20th century. Man and nature have co-existed here since the stone Age, but the strs, the rock formations and the dunes defy the calculaion of human calendars.
Oasis was originally an Egyptian word ( from the Coptic ouahe) and Egypt's oases are still the most oaried in the world, each with a special chatacter of ists own. Wherever you stay, enjoy the tranquility of the Bedouin lifestyle, the date groves, pigeon towers and blue-washed mud houses. For adventure and excitement explore the majesty of the desert by camel or jeep safari, spend a night under the stars and take a morning dip in the hot springs.
Let the night skies and the silent spaces create your own personal oasis- an inner peace to take back with you when you leave.
