Gaberoun

Gaberoun (Arabic: قبر عون; Italian: Lago Gaberoun, alternate spelling Gaber Awhn, Gabr Awhn, Gabr Own, Gabraun) is an oasis with a large lake in the Idehan Ubari desert region of the Libyan Sahara.

Administratively, it is located Wadi al Hayaa District of the Fezzan region in southwestern Libya.

A rudimentary tourist camp is located on the northeastern shore, including an open patio, sleeping huts, and a souvenir shop (attended by a Tuareg in full costume) in the winter.

A small tribe inhabited the oasis; the ruins of their settlement are scattered between the palms at the north-western shore of the lake.

They were moved in the 1980s to a new location outside the sand dunes, in the Wadi Bashir, south of the erg, a settlement of concrete apartments built specifically for the resettlement of this tribe.
