quiet and peaceful atmosphere between
golden sand dunes, green palm trees, clear water springs and the ancient ruins and civilization that surround it.
The modern city of Sabha may be reached via a modern highway network across the desert or by air from Tripoli and Benghazi .
It is built on the ruins of an ancient city where past civilizations such as that of the Garmantes thrived. Their drawings and engravings on the rocks of the Akakus Mountains and their earliest artifacts date back to the first millennium B.C., telling the story of the great original Libyan civilization that flourished in this part of the country.
Further north, across the sand-sea and the huge dunes one reaches the magnificent oasis of Gabroun which has been restored in order to cater for travelers. The original inhabitants, the Dawada, also known as the "Worm Eaters" have now moved to an area closer to the highway. |
