Ati is an important town in central Chad, located about 600 kilometers east of the capital, N'Djamena, and is the capital of the Hadjer-Lamis region. Situated in the Sahelian zone on the southern edge of the Sahara Desert, along the seasonal Batha River and surrounded by semi-arid grasslands, the town is the agricultural and pastoral hub of central Chad. The climate in Ati is hot and dry, with an average annual temperature of 28°C. It is divided into a hot dry season (March-October) and a short rainy season (July-September). The local economy is based on nomadic pastoralism and rough agriculture, with residents mostly engaged in camel and goat farming and growing drought-tolerant crops such as millet and sorghum. As a regional transportation hub, Ati connects Chad's north-south highway arteries and is a traditional trading center for local Tubu and Arab traders, with a unique desert culture and bazaar atmosphere.
Al Khums is a port city on the Mediterranean coast of northwestern Libya, belonging to the province of Murzoug, about 100 kilometers from the capital city of Tripoli.

The region of Homs has a long history, and the archaeological site of the Roman city of "Reptis Major", a UNESCO World Heritage Site, remains in the vicinity. Modern Homs emerged in the 20th century with the construction of a port and the development of the oil industry, and became an important industrial and trade hub for Libya.
As one of Libya's major fishing and commercial ports, Homs' economy is based on oil transportation, fish processing and agricultural trade. The city has a large oil refinery and chemical plant, and the surrounding agricultural area is rich in olive and grain crops. The city of Homs stretches along the coastline and retains an urban style that blends traditional Arab architecture with modern facilities.
