look at these green dots in the middle of the desert (this is a satellite image of the landscape in egypt btw).

how come? do they use some kind of sprinkler system or sth? does anybody have the name of this type of setup, or any close-up photographies?

    Just to add context this isn’t a Middle East specific thing, you might see these basically anywhere crops are irrigated. If you check the US Southwest you’ll see similar circles of farmland.
