Buzema
Buzema is an oasis in the Libyan Desert in the Kufra District of Libya, about 150 km northwest of Kufra.[1] It has a surface of 230 km2 and stretches with a semicircular shape around an 18 km long salt lake.[1] Buzema lies to the bottom of a mountain range where the remains of a Toubou fortification system are still visible.[1] The oasis trees (palm, fig, tamarisk, acacia) bear a lot of fruit due to the abundance of fresh water.[1] On the northwest shore of the lake lies a village.[1]
