- Terjit spring pools — The clear, freshwater pools tucked under the palms are the village’s focal point: perfect for a cool dip, watching local life, and feeling the oasis contrast with the surrounding rock and sand.
- Palm grove (date palms and shaded picnic spots) — A dense, shady stand of palms surrounding the spring where families picnic, dry dates, and people shelter from the sun; strolling here gives a real sense of how oasis life works.
- Sandstone canyon and cliff amphitheater — The narrow gorge that encloses the oasis has layered rock walls and small cliffs that make for short, easy hikes and dramatic views of the palm-and-water pocket below.
- Family-run auberges and campsite — Small guesthouses and simple camps right at the oasis offer basic meals, a place to stay, and face-to-face

- Family-run auberges and campsite — Small guesthouses and simple camps right at the oasis offer basic meals, a place to stay, and face-to-face time with locals; staying here is the most direct way to experience Terjit’s hospitality.
- Village lanes and traditional mudbrick houses — Walking the compact lanes past low mudbrick homes and courtyards shows everyday village life: domestic crafts, courtyards with palms, and the quieter residential rhythm most tourists miss.
- Sunset viewpoints above the oasis — Short walks up to the surrounding ridges give sweeping sunset light over the palms and pools; it’s a small, reliable spectacle that captures the oasis mood.
