Gadames

Town and oasis in Libya, situated on the border with Algeria and Tunisia, about 80 km/50 mi southwest of Tripoli. It is important for its caravan trade, and the oasis also produces apricots, dates, and figs.

Gadames grew up around its hot spring, which was probably why the Romans visited it about 20 BC, when it was captured by Balbus and called Cydamus.
