Sebha

Sebha Sebha is a good base to explore the Fezzan region and serves a stop on your way to Chad and Niger. Going from Ghadhames to Sebha or vice versa you will cross the Fezzan region an the Akakous. In Sebha town, you will be able to arrange some formalities here. The town has little to offer the tourist except Within reach of Sebha you (with a 4WD) can get across the Ramlat Dawada area, with 11 lakes. In the very middle of Sahara. The setting of the lakes is striking. The sand out here is almost red, and it's real sandy, too. There are many strange things to these lakes, they aren't only beautiful. One of them has the quality of actually changing its colour, between green, red and blue, probably due to algae. Another is salt as the Dead Sea, but just outside it, you get fresh water coming up when digging in the sand. People from this area has been despised by Libyans in general, as they eat worms from the lakes. It's not worms of course, but a kind of prawns. Sebha's own main attraction must be its connection to Gadhafi. Here you find the school he attended. It's said that it's here his political awakening started. Even if the school now is in normal use, looking in from outside, will give you the glimpses you need. Eating is not as much of a problem as sometimes reported. There are enough places to eat here for you to change your place every day through a weeks stay.
