Bawiti Oasis is romantic, beautiful, quiet and very impressive, known by the hot spring wells.

The springs are very healthy for rheumatic and skin eczema. Bawiti Oasis includes major archaeological sites and is surrounding by beautiful deserts as the white- and black- and Western deserts.

Recently there has been an increase in tourism to the oasis. The secrets of the Valley of the Golden Mummies, the tombs, antiquities temples and other major discoveries attract people from all over the world.

The people of the oasis, or the Wahati people ( meaning "of the oasis" in Arabic), are the descendants of the ancient people who inhabited the oasis, Bedouin tribes from Libya and the north coast, and other people from the Nile Valley who came to settle in the oasis.

The traditional music is very important to the Wahati people. Flutes, drums, and the simsimeyya (a harp-like instrument) are played at social gatherings, particularly at weddings. Traditional songs sung in rural style are passed down from generation to generation, and new songs are invented as well.
