Fezzan

Fezzan (Arabic: فزان transliterated: Fuzzan) (Latin name Phasania) is a south-western desert region and a former Province ("muhafazah" or "wilayah") of Libya (alongside Tripolitania and Cyrenaica [1]), in an old system of administrative divisions which was abolished in the early 1970s in favor of smaller municipalities or "baladiyah". The "Baladiyat"-system was subsequently changed many times and has lately become the "Sha'biyat"-system. The Fezzan is now divided into several "Sha'biyat". The main city of the region is Sebha.
