A journey to the Al Jufra oases in the heart of Libya, a crossroads for the ancient caravan routes, to discover a unique heritage: 400 varieties of dates, carefully tended by farmers. This wealth has shaped the culture and customs of this country, from language to religion, from architecture to cuisine.
