    Sabratha, Sabratah or Siburata, in the Zawiya District of Libya, was the westernmost of the ancient "three cities" of Roman Tripolis. Sabratha's port was established, perhaps about 500 BC, as a Phoenician trading-post that served as a coastal outlet for the products of the African hinterland. It was inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1982.
    The site is a UNESCO World Heritage site with the official name, Archaeological site of Sabratha.
