Cyrenaica:
The
coastal terrace near Susah
The coastal terrace is rather wild with scattered fields between Susah
and Hamamah. It is more cultivated eastwards in the areas of Susah and
Ra's al Hilal. It is a rocky, calcareous ground, with a thin vegetal
cover and rather small trees shaped by sea winds.
