Corridor Libya

In the desert south of the Gulf of Sirte, broad gravel and sand plains stretch towards the oases of Cyrenaica. Marada and Awjila stand among a chain of depressions where water reaches the surface and palm groves can grow. Awjila was a stopping place on caravan routes connecting the coast with the Fezzan and lands farther south. Between the oases, dry ground and long distances dominate the landscape.
