Corridor Libya

The desert south of the Gulf of Sirte joins the Mediterranean coast to the Saharan interior. Gravel and sand plains spread between the coastal lowlands and the isolated oases farther south and east. Dry wadis cross the open ground, carrying water only after rare rains. This broad arid belt separates Tripolitania from Cyrenaica, while the oases of Marada and Awjila lie beyond it towards the east.
