Rest stop in the desert (5)

I believe the answer is:

oasis

(Other definitions for oasis that I've seen before include "Fertile spot in desert" , "Famous group" , "A place of safety or sanctuary" , "Place of refreshment" , "Spring of fresh water in a desert" .)

I've seen this clue in the Universal.
