Germa is a small village in the western part of Libya. This sparsely populated settlement is nestled in the eastern Sahara desert or what is also known as the Fezzan desert region.
The climate here is typical of the desert region of the country. There is hardly any rainfall at all. Summers are hot with temperatures often hovering around the 50°C mark; winters are chilly. A hot desert wind, the ghibli, can raise the temperature any time of the year.
This miniscule village was an important centre 2,000 years ago under the powerful domain of the Garamantian Empire. The empire was known to be a thorn in the side of the Romans who were unable to capture their holdings unlike other parts of Libya and North Africa.
