With Nalut the Jibal Nafusa really comes to an end, but Nalut is one of the places in the mountains that is most rewarding to visit. The entire town is situated on an escarpment with a great view in eastern direction. The old town has a huge kasr, more than 300 years old, which was used mainly for storing and protecting grain and oil. The kasr is made up of 400 chambers or ghurfas. The mosque, Alala, is even older.
Nalut is now being turned into a centre for desert traveling, where still the majority of travelers are Libyans.
