Oasis of Ghobad-Usk
About 35 miles southeast of Kirtius, this oasis is a strategic point between competing desert tribes and has changed hands many times over the centuries. It is currently occupied by the Ahishkali tribe, which has defended its claim now for three years. The oasis has a healthy supply of date palms, and other fruit and olive trees grow under the shade of the taller trees.
