Oasis of Qara

Oasis of Qara

by Marco Polo

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.
