Libya People & Culture
Libya Definitely recommend travelling to Libya in spring. Have been there twice and my summer vacation was a nightmare due to flies and various other pests - impossible to get rid off. Not a very tourist oriented country (all the signs are in Arabic script), so it is crucial to have a guide. On the other hand, people are very friendly and show admirable hospitality even when it is way above their means and earnings. Good tip? (0) Tripoli, Tripoli, Libya I would suggest to stay in Tripoli in the 4 Star "Four Seasons 2". It is nice located with Western Standards for a reasonable price. For dinner you already find good restaurants. I would suggest to go to the Restaurant "Tripoli" directly at the harbor. I really recommend the fish market (In the east of Tripoli). To go there you need to take cab. Good tip? (0) Tripoli, Tripoli, Libya I couldn't quite believe this place at first. The souq in the old medina is unlike any other in the Arabic speaking world. You get NO hassle at all. Wander around, have a chat with some locals, walk into a few shops. It's a thoroughly relaxing experience after places like Egypt and Morocco! Good tip? (+1) Al Khums, Coastal Tripolitania, Libya There's not a lot to say about the town itself, but its an ideal base to explore Leptis Magna (a few kilometers away). Leptis is simply stunning, no Roman site I have seen can match it in terms of scale. Definitely recommended. Good tip?

There is a nice juice place called "Havanna Juice". Good tip? (0) |
