Brega

Northern Africa

Brega, also known as Mersa Brega or Marsa al-Brega, is a complex of several smaller towns, industry installations and education establishments on Libya's Gulf of Sidra, the most southerly point of the Mediterranean Sea. It lies in what was the Ajdabiya District until that district was merged into Al Wahat District in 2007. The town serves as the center of Libya's second largest hydrocarbon complex.
