Fezzan

The region encompasses vast sand dunes, rocky plateaus, and scattered oases across an extensive area of the Sahara Desert between latitude 26.3328 and longitude 13.4253.

Fezzan functioned as a central hub for trans-Saharan trade routes, connecting Mediterranean civilizations with sub-Saharan Africa through established caravan paths during ancient times.

The population includes Tuareg and Toubou communities who maintain traditional practices, with regular market gatherings serving as centers for commerce and social interaction.

Travelers need experienced guides and detailed preparation due to the limited infrastructure, extreme temperatures, and navigation challenges across the desert terrain.

The landscape features distinctive geographical elements such as the ash-Shati Valley and large dune seas called Idehan Ubari and Idehan Murzuq.
