Quasr of Nalut,Libya

---

Nalut is one of the most interesting Berber settlements of Jabel Nafusa (Nafousa Mountain). It is located about 270 km south east of Tripoli, and approximately 2000 feet above sea level. It is the last Nafousa settlements before descending into the desert road towards Ghadames, passing by Sinnawen and Durj. Nalut, being only 60 km from the Tunisian border, has played an important role in the ancient caravan trade. Some of the best preserved Berber granaries and castles are found in Nalut.
