Oasis of Qara

The inhabited oasis of Qara lies on the western side of the lowlands.

Approximately 150 people live in the settlement perched on a scenic fortress-like cliff. The cultivation of date palms is the most important source of income. Qara was used by Alexander the Great as a resting place on his return from the oasis of Siwa. During the Middle Ages, the oasis was an important base for slave traders.
