There’s A Place You Can Barely See In The Middle Of The Desert. But When You Go Closer… AMAZING.

If you searched for the Sahara desert on Google Maps, you’d find a little speck that’s located in the desert. That little speck, though, is a geological and zoological wonder. If you were trekking through the desert, if you saw it in the distance you would think that it’s just a happy mirage…


It’s called the Guelta d’Archei and it is an oasis, (actually a guelta). A guelta is a type of wetland you will typically find in the desert. And what happens there is a beautiful miracle.


It's located smack dab in the middle of the Sahara. A guelta forms when underground water in lowland depressions spills to the surface and creates permanent pools and reservoirs. oasis2 This one is located in the Ennedi Plateau, in north-eastern Chad, hidden behind a canyon. oasis4 The cool waters are sheltered by sandstone cliffs. Hundreds of camels are grateful to be herded into the knee deep water. oasis7 You might not want to swim there, though, as the excrement from all of the camels has turned the water black. In those black waters are Nile crocodiles. The crocodiles feed on fish that feed on the algae that feed on the waters fertilized by camels. It's an amazing wonder.

The oasis is a beautiful surprise in the middle of a vast desert, with an ecosystem of its own that is a little mind baffling. Click below to share this wonderful marvel.
