Hi - I would like to travel from Tunisia to Egypt via Libya, taking in Tripoli and other sights. I am really excited about going as I gather Libya is a wonderful country and very unspoilt and untravelled, but I am only beginning my research and would love advice for anyone else who has done this trip, or has been to Libya. Firstly, is it quite easy to get a visa to Libya? Is the public transport ok? Can I jump on a bus? And what would you suggest seeing in Libya - I dont really have much time constraint and want to see as much of Libya as possible. Look forward to your advice... Jason

I may be wrong, but I think that as a foreigner you can only get into Libya as part of an organised tour, where you are met at the airport or border by a recognised travel agent - can anyone confirm?

Unless you hold a passport from an Arabic country such as Tunisia you must have a visa prior to travelling to Libya. You will need to contact a travel company who will arrange your visa for you. This can take some time, 4-8 weeks!! So make sure you leave enough time before you travel. Libya is a wonderful country but it is very large with great distances between cities etc. It is worth it.

Enjoy

Hi Jason
what Dolly and Mathieu said is true
you need to contact a libyan travel agency to get a tourest VISA ( that is the only way to git it )
and you will also need to translait your passport to Arabic ( check with the libyan Embasey for that )
one more thing :
you will have a guide or atlest a driver that works for the tourism agency with you at all times ( this is how it works in libya )
pleases to see in Libya :
Ghadames - Lep's Magna - Appolonia - Cyrene - the old city of Tripoli - the Sahara Dasert ( Akakos - Murzeg - etc... )
i hope you Enjoy it

We will be in transit at Tripoli Airport. If we have duty free alcohol will it be taken away from us?
