You may be thinking of the oasis now known as the Faiyum (an Arabic name), which the ancient Egyptians called She-resy, meaning the Southern Lake.
The Faiyum is a large, fertile depression about 65 kilometres across with a lake in the north-west. This lake was anciently five times larger than it is today and there would have been trees, crocodiles and birds - the crocodile god Sebek was the chief deity in the area.
The English word "oasis" derives (via Greek) from the ancient Egyptian word wHAt, which may have been pronounced something like "owah'at".

How did the Romans worship Poseidon?
Well you see, the Romans loved water and were addicted to cleanliness. Therefore they would sacrifice the water to the patriarchs or to the water god, known as Poseidon. Everyday they carried their gold encrusted goblets to the Chickwahee Desert Oasis. And then there, they would raise their hands in praise of Poseidon and dump their offerings into the Oasis. If Poseidon "accepted" their numina (spirits or divinities) then Poseidon would send down a lightning beam from his trident which would kill the second-born child of every family until the moon and sun lined up in a lunar eclipse. Plato predicted this will happen on December 21st, 2012.
Kos, Greece?
As one of the few locations that can satisfy both bar-hoppers and nature lovers, the island of Kos, Greece is swarmed by tourists eager to experience its dizzying sights and sounds. Bar-hoppers can stay in Kos, which boasts a “barstreet” lined with hotels, clubs, and restaurants. The rest of the island, however, is lined with picturesque beaches that offer travelers a luxurious oasis of peace and quiet. Kos is also rich with history. Not every island can claim to be the birthplace of Hippocrates, the father of medicine. At the center of town grows the 500-year-old Tree of Hippocrates, where the man himself supposedly taught. Aspiring doctors can also visit the International Hippocratic Institute. Other crowd-pleasers include the mountain village Zia. Though this destination is dotted with souvenir shops, the real attraction is the view. Those who arrive at sunrise or sunset are richly rewarded. The island’s stunning scenery combined with its laid-back pace makes Kos the perfect vacation destination.
