Buzema

Northern Africa

Buzema is an oasis settlement in the Kufra District of Libya's Cyrenaica region, about 150 kilometers northwest of Kufra, covering an area of roughly 230 square kilometers. An 18-kilometer-long salt lake stretches in a semicircle through the oasis, which supports palm, fig, tamarisk and acacia trees that bear abundant fruit thanks to plentiful fresh water, and which holds the remains of a Toubou fortification system. A village lies on the northwest shore of the lake.
