Conquered by Uqba ibn Nafi in 22 A.H. (643 A.D.), showing an evidence that Islam reached Fezzan early. It's one of the oldest inhabited places in Libya. It had already trade relations with Egypt, and with the Sudan region. The Fatimid Caliph Ubayd Allah Al-Mahdi made it a residence place for his people.References
