Named after the son of Zeus whose punishment for unspeakable acts was to stand in a pool of water that disappeared into the ground every time he stooped to drink it, and underneath fruit trees whose branches swung out of reach each time he reached for nourishment, this area's name should remind you to be well prepared for the harsh desert environment. In this case, its sheer beauty is indeed a massive reward for the preparation and effort.
