Sallum

Sallum was part of Ottoman Tripolitania until December 1911. Then it was ceded to Egypt and never given back to Libya.

Sallum is placed at the Gulf of Sollum.



I was not able to find detailed pre-1911 maps how big the effective territorial change was.

I found some high resolution maps of Sallum area showing it on Libyan side:

It seems to be a very small strip that was occupied by Egpyt. Thank you.
