A general view on early Islamic cities in North Africa and the Near East introduces into the specific problems of early Islamic cities in Libya according to sources from written documents and archaeological evidences, and preserved architectural buildings in the modern towns. Special investigation concentrates on regional cities as the Old City of Tripoli, Ajdabiya, Sultan and Zuila.
