Murzuq, a historic city in the Fezzan region of southwestern Libya, is situated in the heart of the Sahara Desert and was once an important hub of the trans-Saharan trade routes, known as the "City of Desert Gold". Founded in the 13th century, the city boasts ancient buildings such as the Meravo Mosque, with its distinctive mud-brick architecture set against the desert landscape. Historically, Meravo was a transit point for Arab caravans trading with the African interior, where goods such as dates, salt and slaves circulated, leaving a multicultural legacy. Today, although some of its functions have been diminished by modern transportation, Meravo, the cultural center of the Fezzan region, retains its traditional nomadic lifestyle and attracts visitors exploring the history of the Sahara.
