History

Tajarhi was the southern most village in Fezzan and sat on the desert trade routes to the Niger River, Lake Chad and the Sudan. Among the goods traded north were slaves, and the trade in slaves through Tajarhi increased after Tunisia and Algeria abolished the trade in 1846 and 1848, respectively.

Tajarhi was described by George Lyon in 1819 as a lush oasis with groves of date palms and wild ducks on the brackish lakes.
