Al Wigh is a small desert oasis airfield located in the Sahara Desert, army outpost[1] and military base[2] in the Fezzan region of southwest Libya.

It is about 975 kilometres south of the country's capital, Tripoli,[3] and about 500 kilometres from the Niger-Chad border.

[2] The base was the site of several small confrontations in the Southern Libyan Desert campaign in the 2011 Libyan civil war between rebel anti-Gaddafi forces (mainly Toubou tribesmen) and loyalist pro-Gaddafi forces.
