The tourist infrastructure in Libya is still in a developmental stage. The very nature of life in Libya means there can be the occasional hiccup and services can sometimes be erratic.
(Service in hotels is generally not to a European standard and you may experience deficiencies in such matters as bathroom maintenance, restaurant services and general upkeep.)
All visitors to Tripoli should be people who remain good-humored in the face of less-than-perfect or unexpected situations. However, we feel sure that the opportunity to come and experience this beautiful and fascinating country as yet unblemished by mass tourism will more than compensate for any such occurrences.
Libya is a photographer's dream but be sure to protect your camera from dust and sand - a good cleaning kit is essential.
Be very careful in towns and even some rural areas not to photograph any security installations such as police stations, the military, etc.
Do not take photographs of women without permission though long shots of market scenes are generally fine.
There may be a payable fee of 5LD for still cameras and 10LD for video in some areas that you visit.
Tripoli and Libya are historical havens and there is so much to see and explore. Here are a few just to wet your appetite:
The Meddina: the centre of Tripoli with Roman ruins and a castle converted into the museum .
Guryan: a pottery haven- you can buy from tagines to bowls to pots to mosaics. Not to mention a great visit to the underground house- which is over 300 years old!
Sabratha: This is a fantastic historic site, in an evocative location on the coast less than an hour from Tripoli and it needs the best part of a day to see the ruins.
Leptis Magna: The most extensive ruins! There is so much beauty, so many details to see.
Ghadames: Experience the oasis and old style living in the desert…
** With the correct attitude and understanding of life in Tripoli, respecting the traditions of the Muslims your stay here will be culturally rewarding and enriching.
