Chebika Oasis

Chebika Oasis, Shabikah

 Quartzy Says:  The Chebika Oasis was nice because you had to walk a little to get there, unlike in Tamerza. However, there were kids pushing jewelry on us and a guide we didn't really need. The scenery is amazing though, and there is more to see than just the water.
