Waddan (Arabic: ودان, Italian: Ueddan) is an oasis town of the Sahara Desert in the northeast Fezzan region of southwest Libya, in the Jufra District.
In the Seventh Century C.E., Waddan was the primary town among the oasis settlements in the al-Jufra area.
[9] While the Libyan civil wars raged, some were destroyed at the GEKA facility in Germany,[10] but the U.S. Defense Threat Reduction Agency established a chemical munitions elimination facility in Waddan, where they destroyed 570 chemical weapons over the course of its operation.
[4] It is a travel stop on the road from Sirte to Hun and Sawknah, and boasts its Waddan Tourist Park.
[14] In Waddan are the pre-Islamic underground water irrigation channels or foggaras (al-Faqarat),[15] as well as a number of circular tombs.
