The study aims to analyze the spatial distribution of lake sites in Libya using spatial techniques represented by remote sensing (RS) and geographic information systems (GIS), and to create a geographic database, and the extent of their impact on the tourism sector, as the study was devoted to the site of Lake Qabr Aoun by analyzing it spatially and the environmental factors affecting it and its importance in attracting tourism and enhancing tourism development. The study found a random scattered pattern in the spatial distribution of lake sites in Libya; as a result of their formation and natural formation over different geological ages and times, and emphasized the interest in protecting and managing lakes in a sustainable manner to preserve the natural environment and enhance tourism sustainability in the region. Recommendations are directed to officials and those interested in the tourism, development and environment sector to make optimal use of natural water resources and enhance them in providing job opportunities and activating the tourism sector...................
