Terjit, Natural oasis in Adrar Region, Mauritania
Located 45 kilometers south of Atar, this oasis features a palm grove extending along a stream within a gorge of the Adrar plateau.
The oasis served as a ceremony site for religious events and royal celebrations, including the coronation ceremonies of several African princes.
Local Berber communities maintain their presence in the oasis, offering traditional tea ceremonies and sharing their customs with visitors.
The oasis charges an entrance fee and provides accommodation options in tents positioned within the palm grove near the natural springs.
The site contains the sole natural swimming pool in the Adrar region, surrounded by steep cliffs and date palms that create natural shade.
