Al Awaynat or Alawinat (العوينات) or Serdeles is a small town located in the Sahara Desert in Libya. It lies at the entrance of the Djebel Al Akakus. It is located 240 km south west of the city of Ubari and 120 km north of the city of Ghat. Al Awaynat is the gate of Tadrart Acacus and its residents from Toureg tribe.
