Jebil National Park

Jebil National Park is a large reserve covering desert terrain with sand dunes, rocky plateaus, and scattered plant life. The landscape holds archaeological sites that show evidence of human settlement from ancient times.

The park was created in 1994 to protect the desert landscape and preserve archaeological finds. Evidence suggests that people have lived in this part of the Sahara since very ancient times.

Local Bedouin communities have shaped life here for centuries, passing down knowledge about surviving in harsh conditions. Their presence remains visible in how the land is used and respected by those who visit.

Bring plenty of water and supplies when visiting, and plan your trip in advance since facilities are sparse. Traveling with an experienced guide is helpful for navigating the terrain safely and understanding what you see.

A rocky mountain formation within the park connects directly to the vast sand dunes of the Grand Erg Oriental desert. This blend of highlands and sandy plains creates an unusual landscape that few visitors expect to see together.
