Surman

This coastal city on the Mediterranean shore of northwestern Libya, Surman sits between the Nafusa Mountains to the south and the sea, giving it a position that links mountain, plain, and coast. Its beaches draw summer visitors, and the seasonal Wadi al-Ithl to the south borders a wildlife reserve of the same name. The city is primarily commercial, with factories, large markets, and varied shops, and lies a short drive west of Tripoli.
