The story

Hun Autumn International Tourism Festival in Hun

Every year at the end of September, the Al-Jufra oasis town of Hun in central Libya hosts the International Autumn Tourism Festival, a four-day event running continuously since 1996. Having reached its 25th edition around 2021, the festival showcases traditional crafts, cultural programming and tourism promotion tied to Hun's identity as a long-standing desert oasis community.

In the middle of Libya's desert interior, the Al-Jufra oasis town of Hun has managed something unusual for the region: an annual festival that has run almost without interruption since 1996.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Few Libyan festivals can claim the longevity of Hun's autumn gathering, which has run nearly every year since 1996 and had reached its 25th edition by October 2021, a rare stretch of continuity for a cultural event anywhere in the region, let alone one held through periods of significant national upheaval

02

The mystery stays covered

That endurance itself is part of the story: the festival has become a fixture of local identity in Al-Jufra, giving successive generations a predictable annual moment to display traditional crafts and cultural programming

03

The city starts moving

Because it is explicitly framed around tourism, the festival also functions as Hun's pitch to the wider country and beyond, positioning the oasis town as a destination worth visiting rather than simply a place travelers pass through
