REMADA
The micro-oasis





Kids playing football in the outskirts of the oasis.

| Below the town centre and next to the road leading to the Libyan border 40 km away, there is a small oasis. It is nothing like the effective oases near Chott el Jerid, but a handful of houses that reside along the side from where the source comes from.
This small area, no more than 100 metres wide and less than 1 km long, has a diversified agriculture. I counted many different plants and trees, and in between goats were herded. Expect to arose a bit of attention if you should enter, but it only took me a minute to see suspicion turned into friendliness in the peoples' faces.
