Zawiyat al-Dahmani is a suburb of Tripoli, Libya. It lies between the coast to the north, and the suburb of Fashloom to the south. In the past, in this place there was a village called Shar al-Shatt, in which took place the Battle and massacre at Shar al-Shatt during the Italo-Turkish War.

As of 22 February 2011, during the Libyan Civil War, there were reports that it had been cordoned off by Libyan security forces.[1] At the beginning of the Battle of Tripoli, Al Jazeera reported that Zawiyat al-Dahmani was under the opposition control.[citation needed]
