Garden Lakes 6 October is an oasis located in Egypt, near the northwestern border with Libya. It is part of the Western Desert, one of the world's most arid regions. The area is known for its hot climate and sandy terrain, yet Garden Lakes 6 October provides a lush green haven amid the vast desert. Its eight freshwater lakes offer a rare desert oasis for wildlife and local inhabitants alike.

The lake system was formed over thousands of years as runoff from the nearby mountains and hills was slowly built up in the depression between two ridges. These waters have created an environment that not only supports a rich and diverse flora and fauna, but also nourishes the area’s indigenous communities.

Garden Lakes 6 October is home to a number of species of fish, reptiles, amphibians, and birds, including the endangered Egyptian nightjar, the globally threatened slender-billed curlew, and a variety of Palearctic waders. The oasis is a unique habitat and has been designated a Ramsar Wetland of International Importance since 1990.
