Cultural Heritage in the Abunjem Oasis: Preservation and Utilization

Abstract

 Cultural heritage is all the things that man has made and used in his life and have become a thing of the past. Cultural heritage includes all the material and intangible legacies that the population inherits. The Abunjem Oasis is one of the oldest human settlements in Libya since prehistoric times. Abunjem is a small oasis located in the southeast of the region Tripoli, on the northern border of Fezzan between Misrata and the Jufra region. It can be considered the only inhabited region. This important strategic location made it a link between the north and the south, and it is considered a suitable resting place for desert commercial caravans and travelers since ancient times.
