Maysse (also known as Maysou or Maysas) is an important city in the mountainous region of northwestern Libya, located in the province of Nalut. The city is situated on the high ground of the Nafusa Mountains at an altitude of about 700 meters above sea level, about 240 kilometers from the capital city of Tripoli. With its unique location, Maesse is an important transportation hub connecting the coastal areas with the desert lands in the interior.
Maysse has a long history and is traditionally a predominantly Berber settlement, preserving a rich Berber cultural heritage. Most of the city buildings are made of local stone, presenting a unique mountain town style. The inhabitants have traditionally practiced agriculture, animal husbandry and olive cultivation, and have retained their traditional handicrafts.
As a regional commercial center, the economy of Meuse is based on agriculture, with olives, figs and cereals. The city's infrastructure has improved in recent years, but development has been slow due to the political situation in Libya. The city is surrounded by a number of historic Berber villages, which attract tourists interested in traditional North African culture.
The climate is semi-arid, with hot, dry summers and cool winters. The city is surrounded by mountainous terrain and is one of the more populated towns in the Nafusa Mountains region. Due to its high altitude, the climate is more pleasant than in the surrounding desert areas.
