What Developed Around Oases?

A number of towns developed around oases, linked by tracks through the desert. Many of these towns evolved into small trading centers. Farmers bartered (traded) their crops for the goods the nomads brought, like milk, meat, and camel hair.

Why do people settle around an oasis?

It is a natural resource for people living in a desert. It provides habitat for animals too. The location of an oasis is considered to be critically important for trade and transportation routes in deserts. Caravans travel by a route with an oasis so that water supplies and food could be replenished.
