Libya in Oddee!!

I found this weird website called Oddee which describes itself as " A Blog On The Oddities Of Our World" this website tends to list bizarre places, pictures or people in numbers, for example the 10 most bizarre people in the world and so on.... I am posting some pictures and do not think that Libya does not feature, look at the end of the post, you will be pleasantly surprised:

OK, now for the bit about Libya, the website lists the 7 Most Beautiful Oases in the world, Libya proudly holds the number 1 & number 6 places, here is what they have:

1-Ubari Oasis (Libya)

Ubari is an oasis city in South-Western Libya, in the Targa valley. It lies between the Messak Sattafat plateau and Idhan Ubari sand dunes and lakes. The oasis is the second centre after Ghat for Kel Ajjer Tuareg. Neighbouring villages include Germa, and In Garran. The water is salted like the dead sea, but swimming into it is rather not a good idea as it is very dirty.

6-Gaberoun (Libya)

Gaberoun is an oasis with a large lake located in the municipality Sabha in the Libyan Sahara. The old Bedouin settlement by the western shore of the lake has been abandoned, and now lays in ruins. A rudimentary tourist camp is located on the northeastern shore, including an open patio, sleeping huts, and a souvenir shop (attended by a touareg in full costume) in the winter. The lake is very salty, swimming can be pleasant despite the salt water crustaceans. Mosquitoes are abundant, especially in the summer. October to May is considered the best time to visit as the climate is milder.

i am from tripoli libya and went the first time to sebha and viseted gaber own and some othere oasises


gaber 3own
dont know how to spell it in english.
i took photoes and they looked fake lol i coud not bleav how beautiful these natrual places are. they have a presunce of a 1000years. if you havnt seen them, you must go, you only live ones.and its a sight that will never be forgot, a moment in life that will be rember for ever.
do embrace it.

sory my spelling is so bad,
you wont be sory for the journey that you had to make to get there. people come from all over the world to see it, and its funny because i am sure half the libyans havnt. truly a shame.

and keep it clean. no littering along the way, dont forget no one to clean up after you in the desert. ull see old trucks from when the italians were there many years a go, just the shell of the cars and trucks remain. if your fortunate to see one.
as i like to say
Vēnī, vīdī, vīcī
i came, i saw, i concerd for thoes who have never seen this term or word befor. you can see it on the marlboro pakit lol.
be the one to achive grate things.
dont be lazy and sit on your pc for the rest of your life!!!
