Sokna

Sokna is an oasis of northern Fezzan, where palms and gardens stand amid the dry interior of Libya. It belongs to the chain of settlements around the Jufra depression, between the Mediterranean coast and the oases farther south. Wells and groundwater make cultivation possible in a country of stony plains and sand. Caravans travelling between Tripolitania and Fezzan passed through the oasis country on their way across the Sahara.
