Sabha

Sabha

:"See sabhā for the Indian concept of "council"."

Sabha (Arabic: سبها) is one of the municipalities of Libya. It is located in the center of the country. The capital is Sabha with a population of 130,000.

Sabha has one small domestic airport. It is the most important city of southern Libya. The population is mostly a mixture of Arab and Black. Unmixed Black are also a common ethnicity.

The Sahara Desert begins at Sabha. There are illegal passenger buses that arrive at this city from southern African countries such as Niger, a journey which takes seven days. It is one of the most dangerous routes as it goes through the desert. Bus drivers often lose their way and passengers sometimes die from lack of food and water. People from Ghana, Togo, and Sudan come through Sabha and then to Europe through Tripoli.

There is a big lake inside the Sahara Desert near Sabha named "Gaberoun". This was a village several years ago but now only a tourist spot.

Sabha borders the following municipalities:
*Wadi Al Shatii - north
*Al Jufrah - east
*Murzuq - south
*Wadi Al Hayaa - west

The major cities of Sabha include
* Samnu
* Tamanhant

* Umm al Ahrar
* Al Jadid
* Al Kuwayfiyah
* Az Zighan
* Garagara
* El-Gedid
