'''Daryabar Fossa''' is aan east-west trending [[trough]] on [[Saturn (planet)|Saturn]]'s moon [[Enceladus (moon)|Enceladus]]. Daryabar Fossa was first seen in ''[[Voyager 2]]'' images, though a small section was see at much higher resolution by ''[[Cassini-Huygens Mission|Cassini]]''. It is centered at 9.7° North [[Latitude]], 359.1° West [[Longitude]] and is approximately 201 [[kilometer]]s long. Based on limb profiles of ''Voyager 2'' images, Daryabar Fossa was determined to be a 400-[[meter]] deep and 4 [[kilometer]]s wide (Kargel and Pozio 1996). Daryabar Fossa runs perpendicular to the scarp [[Isbanir Fossa]] and is right-laterally offset 15-20 km by the scarp, suggesting [[Isbanir]] is a [[Geologic_fault#Strike-slip faults|strike-slip]] or [[transform fault]] (Rothery 1999).
[[Daryabar]] Fossa is named for the land from which Princess Daryabar came in [[Arabian Nights]].
