jebel akhdar (libya)

For the Jebel Akhdar region of Oman, see Jebel Akhdar (Oman).

The Jebel Akhdar or Djebel Akhdar (Arabic for Green Mountains) is a wooded, fertile upland area in eastern Libya. It is located in the modern municipality of Al Jabal al Akhdar. Jebel Akhdar consists of a mountainous plateau (rising in some places to an altitude of 500 m/1,600 ft) cut by several valleys. It lies north of Benghazi and south of Derna. It is the wettest part of Libya, receiving some 600 mm/24 inches of precipitation annually. This rainfall means that the area enjoys rich fruit, potato, and cereal agriculture, something of a rarety in the arid region. The ancient Greek colony of Cyrene was located in a lush valley in the Jebel Akhdar.
