An oasis town located in the center of the Libyan Desert in western Egypt. It has about 3,500 inhabitants. It was probably called Tha or Thay in ancient Egypt. According to the Yakut geography book, it was called Santarīya in the Middle Ages, and is the westernmost oasis town in Egypt, with most of the inhabitants being Berbers. In addition to being a town in the desert, the town is unique in that it is about 30 meters below sea level, and there are many salt lakes scattered around the area, forming a large lowland area.
