After a relaxing stay, we will continue until we arrive at our destination, the Mifiss Oasis. It is a spectacular place, with palm trees and lakes between high, uninhabited hills, appearing wild, lush vegetation by a stream of the same name (Mifiss). In this heavenly environment, we will have lunch. Before sunset, we will leave Mifis for the Oasis of Tisserdmin, with its large contrasts of water, vegetation, rocks, and sand.
