Gharyan or Gharian (Arabic: غريان‎ Ġaryān, Tamazight: ⵖⵔⵢⴰⵏ Ɣeryan) is a town in northwestern Libya, in Al Jabal al Gharbi District. Prior to 2007 it was the administrative seat of Gharyan District. Gharyan is one of the largest towns in the Nafusa Mountains, an area populated by Berbers. About 70 miles (113km) south of Tripoli, the slopes of the Gharian Mountains rise abruptly from the desert plain to a height of over 2,700 feet (822 meters). They are a magnificent and awe-inspiring sight; bare, brown, and completely without vegetation. A well-engineered road leads to the summit, and as you look back you can see the road twisting below you among the rocks. The road takes you to the village of Gharyan.
