Gafsa Oases (Arabic: واحة قفصة, French: Oasis de Gafsa) are date palm oases at Gafsa in southwestern Tunisia, near the northern edge of the Sahara Desert. The Gafsa Oases were known to the ancient Romans and cover approximately 700 hectares.[1] The oases were designated a Globally Important Agricultural Heritage System in 2011.[2] The individual oases are called Sakdoud, Ksar, Lela, Gafsa and El Guettar.[3]
