Regarding rent- just heard and confirmed that the houses, i.e villas are rented out pretty cheap these days. For example, our house which was off Gargaresh was 3000 Ldinar before and now the landlord cannot find a decent renter for 800 Ldinar. Two ... Read More

Amanda Please allow me to say that you seem to be romanticizing living in Libya, as some well-meanings Americans often do. And I do not think you have a good understanding of visas, as apparent in your statement:"Right now, USA is not handing out ... Read More
Safety in Tripoli by Bechir33
Dear all, My company is proposing me to move to Tripoli. I'am ok with that except with security conditions that make me still hesitate. What about gunshots, the 2 attempts these last 2 or 3 weeks? I really would enjoy to know your ...
@ FatmaKumru I don't know about Tripoli but in Benghazi there are US drones in the sky. Some people wanting to "take a shot" at America are shooting up into the sky. This makes it rather unsafe for all airlines trying to take off or land given ... Read More

Butcher by mzsmartypants
Currently in Libya. Was wanting to know if there are any butchers in Tripoli that offer variety of cuts. Seems like all the butchers I have been to seem to just have hunks of meat or minced.
My butcher was a very nice guy (and his son?) on Gargaresh. He was part of a grocery store (vegetables and fruits on the front and all other stuff at the back) Their shop was around the mid sections of the Road (right hand side, from the city ... Read More

It amazes me how forums turn from the focus, which is clearly critical information regarding Libya and the international community into 'gossip' and fairly silly commentary. The Chamber of Commerce supports private enterprise,You are right, then it ... Read More

Then, "when the flights resume" [not likely to happen anytime soon, cannot give to it serious consideration, sorry!] you should check with the airline. Your bird sounds like a beautiful companion. Being involved with a couple of animal rescues from ... Read More

Assuming that you may be flying with the Turkish Airlines, why don't you call them and check.... The horror stories of pets left behind just a year ago still haunts many of us. Are you sure you want to take the bird with you? fk Read More
