In 2007 the former Al Wahat district (area:108,670 km2) was enlarged to include what had been the Ajdabiya District and part of Kufra District. It now has essentially the boundaries that the baladiyah (district) of Ajdabiya did from 1988 to 1995.
In 2007, the Al Wahat district underwent a territorial adjustment that aligned its borders with those of the Ajdabiya baladiyah during the period from 1988 to 1995.
