If you're visiting this as apart of a jeep-safari to desert, you'll be stopping here only for a couple of minutes, just to go to the toilet in a little shop, buy some suovenirs (esp. desert roses) and take a photo of this nature's wonder.

This is the second most famous oaze in south Tunisia- it's the place where famous movie The English Patient is taken. You have to climb a little to get to see the water and the view, which can be hard because of the high temperatures, but i deeply reccomend it because it's definitely worth it in the end. And after you can relax in the little 'cafe' where you can get everything- from beer, cola, tea, coffie, ice--cream and even some snacks.
