Thanks for the info. I have just spoken to the receptionist at the Hotel Mehari in Djerba, and he said they are open and accepting bookings. So, my next question is whether we will be able to get across the border if we drive over from Tripoli. ... Read More

BACK TO THE BASICS - A WEBSITE BY EXPATS, FOR EXPATS by Julien
Hi, Expat.com defines itself as "The living abroad website, by expats, for expats" We received too many complains these last days about locals systematically hijacking treads, and many, many active users became very frustrated. We decided to ...
An interesting issue, this. It got me thinking about whether I could help some expats on the Expat.com in my home country. I checked it out, and guess what? A load of posts have been hijacked by Redsaraya! What's that all about? I think you ... Read More

Is it Hadiek? Is it where you will be living, or what? This is an area where some of the expats live - Big Tuna referred to it the other day as somewhere good to live - if anywhere is 'expat' round here it is probably Hadiek! Don't know about the ... Read More

What to pack when traveling? by GISgirl
This is really making me consider "what I can't live without" food-wize before I get there. Forget the clothes.... I'm packing food!
Big Tuna is right! You can get pretty much all you want in the food line out here in Benghazi, but you do have to search for it. Recently I found poppadums, for example. BT is right about the cheese situation too - in Tripoli i think you can get ... Read More
