Janzour /ˈdʒɑːnzʊər/ (Arabic: جنزور Janzūr), also known as Janzur or Zanzur, is a town in the District of Al Jfara in north-western Libya, located 12 kilometers west of the capital Tripoli.[1]
History
Janzour has been part of Al Jfara District since 2001. Before that it was part of Tripoli District. Janzour is also considered a suburb of Tripoli since it is geographically close to it. Janzour is divided into smaller districts, the central of which is called Janzour A-Soque, where many universities, institutions, banks, and the old market are located.
Agriculture
The area is of great agricultural value because of the winter rain and the mild weather. The palm and olive trees used to be widespread in the city; however, due to urban planning, and the dramatic increase of people colonization, a lot of these trees disappeared especially the orange trees.
