Oasis of Ghat

Oasis of Ghat is a protected area of Libya.[1] It is located in southern Libya, very close to the Algerian border.[2]

An ancient Saharan caravan route used to pass there, and there used to be a center for the slave trade. A nearby offshoot of Mount Idinen, they are known as the ghost town.[3]
