The Friends of Fezzan Tourism & Heritage Association brought a vibrant taste of Libyan Saharan culture to the International Desert Festival in Tours, France, held from June 13 to 15. The event showcased traditional music, artisanal crafts, and culinary delights, immersing visitors in the rich heritage of the Libyan Fezzan desert.

Organized by the French-based association Les Amis du Fezzan, the exhibition aimed to strengthen cultural ties and raise awareness of Fezzan’s unique natural and historical legacy. As desert regions like Fezzan gain international attention for tourism and heritage preservation, initiatives like this festival help spotlight the region’s traditional identity.

The association’s presence highlighted ongoing efforts to promote sustainable tourism in Libya’s desert areas—featuring educational workshops, handcraft displays, and traditional musical performances. It also served as a platform for potential partnerships to support heritage conservation and increased cultural tourism.

This participation underlines Fezzan’s growing visibility on the international cultural stage, fostering cross-national engagement and dialogue centered on desert culture and sustainable heritage tourism.

Libya has been in chaos since a NATO-backed uprising toppled longtime leader Muammar Gaddafi in 2011. The county has for years been split between rival administrations.

Libya’s economy, heavily reliant on oil, has suffered due to the ongoing conflict. The instability has led to fluctuations in oil production and prices, impacting the global oil market and Libya’s economy.

The conflict has led to a significant humanitarian crisis in Libya, with thousands of people killed, and many more displaced. Migrants and refugees using Libya as a transit point to Europe have also faced dire conditions.

The planned elections for December 2021 were delayed due to disagreements over election laws and the eligibility of certain candidates. This delay has raised concerns about the feasibility of a peaceful political transition.

Despite the ceasefire, security remains a significant concern with sporadic fighting and the presence of mercenaries and foreign fighters. The unification of the military and the removal of foreign forces are crucial challenges.
