The Libyan Mountain Ranges Jabel Nafousa (the Nafousa mountain range) is in the northwestern region of Libya and terminates as an extension of a mountain chain crossing the border into Algeria. It accommodates a number of historical villages that were built a long time ago into the rocks of the mountains, overlooking the lowlands beneath. Natural beauty in these highlands is latent in the vast area of the Jfara plain that separates the seashore from the crooked mountain range. This fact is reflected in turn on the flora and fauna vitae where greenery is scarce and water is little. The architecture, local culture, way of life and the beauty of nature are some of the most important attractions that captures the interests and curiosity of tourists and travelers to the region. Al-Jabal Al-Akhdar (the “Green Mountains”), situated in the northeastern region, embraces the Mediterranean so closely to provide a highly enjoyable climate. This helped grow a rich variety of mountain crops and fruit trees such as olives, almonds, figs as well as palm trees. Some virgin unexplored parts of the mountains meeting the sea in the Green Mountains could be as wonderful and charming as some tropical forests or Hawaiian backdrops. Situated in the middle of the Libyan land is the chain of the Black Harouj Mountains, which took its name from its dark rocks, blackened by the eruptions of ancient volcanoes that existed there thousands of years ago. In the southwestern region of Libya there are the Tadrart Akakus mountains which are considered to be one of the most important historical sites for its rich treasures of pre-historical paintings and engravings. Close to the Egyptian and Sudanese borders with Libya, in the southeastern region of Libya are the Al-Awaynat and Arkno mountains each of which also contains prehistoric paintings similar to those found in the Tadrart Akakus mountains. Al-Awaynat mountains are also the authentic place of the real story on which the famous movie “The English Patient” was based. |
