DESERT OASIS explained: this is how they do it. |S7 - E7|

In this episode, the manager of the guesthouse where I am staying is showing me around the oasis that was created here and explains how water is managed to sustain the life of the people here. The way the community works together in the oasis, the women and children centre and the community bakery is fascinating to see. In environments like these, you have to work together when resources are scarce!

    I want to express my heartfelt gratitude for visiting our humble desert town and immersing yourself in our culture and way of life. It was a pleasure to have you as our guest, and we appreciate the interest and respect you showed toward our community. Your willingness to learn about our customs, traditions and daily routines was truly admirable. It was evident that you took the time to observe and ask questions, and we were happy to share our experiences and perspectives with you. As you explored our town, I hope you gained a deeper appreciation for the beauty and resilience of the desert landscape. Despite the harsh conditions, we have learned to thrive and adapt to our environment, and our culture reflects this strength and ingenuity.

    Your way of life is beautiful in it's simplicity, No Airs no graces just people working together for the benefit of all, But wuth an order that is based on honest hard work gets its due rewards. I have no doubt the community as a whole gets together to help somebody who life throws misfortune at through no fault of their own just life in it's many myriad of ups and downs good times and poor times, there are no Bad times those are invariably created by mankind who have fallen into the trap of selfish thinking and acting for in my thinking self serving actions only beget bad times or acts of evil where nobody wins. Your culture is pure and beautiful just like the wonderous land you inhabit, السلام عليكم

To run multiple cameras, interview people, unload the cameras, edit the footage and add audio.... it's an art. The guesthouse manager had a lot of energy! You really get the sense of community in the collective. When resources are thin, everybody works together, everybody thrives. Thanks for this video, Noraly! Well done.

This brought back memories of me, as a small boy, walking with and helping my grandfather irrigate his organic peach and plum orchards in California. He had over a 100 acres of fruit trees and was selling organic fruit to Los Angeles health food stores in the 1950's-1960's. Granny and Pop were ahead of their time. Thanks for another window into how unique and beautiful all the people of the world can be.

    As a child of the 60's, I immediately recognized the oasis community you visited. It is the ancestor of what we called a 'COMMUNE" here in the states. we can take so many lessons from other cultures that still operate under the systems that had been in place for hundreds, if not thousands of years. It is so neat to see how people come together to share resources, work and ideas to better the whole group. Side note - when you visited the village musicians, I took notice of the traditional garb worn by them all, but especially they were all wearing sneakers, high tops, running shoes, etc. it seems that different cultures CAN CO-EXIST!!!!!😅👍👟🐪 You have shown us a culture and part of society we never had seen before. Thank you again, and have a safe and happy journey!!! Warm regards from Chris in Ann Arbor.

    The same system was used by the ancient Nazca people who lived in the Nazca Desert in Peru. The hydraulic system, known as the puquios, is a combination of underground tunnels, small reservoirs, and spiraling holes called "ojos" that lead from the surface to the water below. The spiral-shaped holes funnel wind into the underground canals. The wind helped to push the water through the system, with the spiral "ojos" serving like ancient pumps.
