Germa |
| Germa was the capital of the Garamantes people, who were living
in southern Libya until about 500 A.D. and then vanished when the climate
turned too hot and dry. There is still much to be discovered! |

Umm el-Maa (Mother of the water) |
| The largest of the Mandara lakes, which are around 15 salt
water lakes within the Ihhan Ubari dunes. It is possible to go for a swim, but
beware: Umm el-Maa also has thermal water,
below about 1 m depth there is a sudden, uncomfortable increase in temperature! |
