The Nafusa Mountains in northwestern Libya form a striking escarpment between the Mediterranean coastal plain and the Tripolitanian Plateau. Stretching approximately 250 kilometers from Gharyan to Wazzin near the Tunisian border, this rugged range rises to over 750 meters, with dramatic slopes and deep valleys defining its landscape. Historically, the Nafusa region was a stronghold of Ibadi Islam and played a pivotal role during the 2011 Libyan Civil War, with its strategic terrain favoring resistance efforts. Today, the mountains are home to vibrant Berber communities, rich cultural heritage, and towns like Yafran, Zintan, and Nalut, offering insights into the area's enduring traditions and historical significance.

The original name since the Islamic conquests is Jabal Nafusa, and this is found in all sources. As for the Western Mountain, it is a Turkish Ottoman name, and we challenge anyone who comes up with information that confirms the opposite. After that, Gaddafi, before his fall, called it the Arabian Mountain, and the inhabitants of the mountain are Berbers and Arabs.

I visited the Nafusa Mountain region in November/December 2011. Great history. Welcoming people. Gardens under Olive Trees. I hope to return some day. Love this place and the hardy people who live there.
