El Tag (Arabic: التاج, romanized: at-Tāj; also Al-Tag, Al-Taj) is a village and holy site in the Kufra Oasis, within the Libyan Desert subregion of the Sahara. It is in the Kufra District in the southern Cyrenaica region of southeastern Libya. The Arabic el tag translates as "crown" in English, and derives from the site's position above the Kufra basin. El Tag, being on a rise, is without an oasis spring and native date palm habitat.
