Msus or Zawiyat Msus (Arabic: زاوية مسوس), also Masous is a village in eastern Libya. It's located 130 km (81 mi) on the southeast of Benghazi, and far from Suluq on the same direction by 80 km (50 mi).[1]

There is a road linking her to Suluq. It's also linked with Charruba (about 69 km (43 mi) to the north) by another road.
