A Palm Forest [Explored]
Scenes like this are scattered around the countryside of Oman. I didn't hear the term oasis used as these areas are not really an area to escape a desert, but an orchard to grow dates. Dates are one of Oman's major exports, along with fish, oil and copper.
Dates are also part of the ritual of welcoming a guest. They, along with Omani coffee, are usually offered as a form of hospitality. This is a custom that has been part of the Omani culture for centuries.
