Al-Jaghbub (Arabic: الجغبوب, Italian: Giarabub) is a remote desert oasis in the eastern Libyan Desert. It is actually closer to the Egyptian town of Siwa than to any Libyan town of note. The oasis is located in Al Butnan District and is the administrative seat of the Al Jaghbub Basic People's Congress. Supported by reservoirs of underground water and date production, the town is best known for its hard-won self sufficiency. King Idris of Libya was born in Al-Jaghbub on March 12 1889.
