Brak

Brak is an oasis settlement in the Wadi ash-Shati of northern Fezzan. Palm groves line the desert valley, where groundwater has supported cultivation for generations. To the south lies the Ubari sand sea, separating this oasis belt from the Wadi al-Ajal and its ancient Garamantian settlements. The valleys of Fezzan form a succession of habitable places amid the Sahara, linked by routes across sand and stony desert.
