Corridor Libya

The desert between Ghat and the Fezzan oases contains long reaches of sand and rocky ground. The Ubari sand sea lies to the east, while the mountains around Ghat rise to the west. Caravans moving through this region linked Ghat with the oases of Wadi al-Ajal and Murzuq. The Kel Ajjer Tuareg held influence over a wide area of the central Sahara, including the country around Ghat and Ubari.
