Sherda

Sherda lies near the southwestern edge of the Tibesti, among the dry valleys that descend from the mountains toward Borkou. Along these wadis, Toubou communities cultivate palms and a little grain where water remains beneath the valley floor. The pastures of the highlands offer grazing at different seasons, while the oasis settlements of Sherda and nearby Zouar form part of a region of scattered communities amid the central Sahara.
