Marada ({{langx|ar|مرادة}}) is a desert oasis in the Al Wahat District, Cyrenaica region, in northeastern Libya.Maplandia world gazetteer

Although Marada is located {{convert|120|km|mi|abbr=on}} south of El Agheila, the dilapidated condition of the El Agheila-Marada road compels travelers to use much longer routes to get to Marada.
