The Western Desert of Egypt, Cassandra Vivian, An Explorer’s Handbook
Origin of the word “oasis” comes from Western Desert:
The term “oasis” has its roots in ancient Egyptian, signifying a place of respite. It refers to a dispersed region of farmland situated in the desert, nourished by water from springs that burst forth from beneath the earth’s surface. In Greek, it was referred to as “Odous,” while in Coptic, it was articulated as “Wahah” or “Wah.”
