The oasis offers a lush refuge in the hostile desert world. Echoing the idea of a natural sanctuary, the central garden is replete with bountiful groves and plentiful selection of bird and plant species that a nourishing body of water supports.



European clusters

Inspired by the great geometric gardens of 17th century France, the parterre gardens of the European enclave create a tranquil atmosphere of order and pattern brought to life through rhythmic, conical forms of large clipped plants and colorful perennial beds laid out in geometric and scrolled patterns .

Contemporary clusters

Skewed angies,intersecting and slipped planes patters, grids and changes in material and color create and environment suggesting contemporary design and modern ideas.
Islamic clusters

Islamic tile is perhaps the most accessible manifestation of a complex culture, and the design of a historic 18th century tile provided the inspiration for the central garden, reflecting a modern interpretation of the tile's whimsical floral pattern.
