Libya


BASICS:
Climate







Coast near Tripoli and Benghazi is relatively pleasant even in summer time, but some years the temperatures can reach the level of 40°C, especially in July/August. Winter in this region often brings rain and cold nights. During spring, the ghibli can offer an unpleasant experience of fast increase in the temperatures, when it can be up to 40-45°C.
Temperatures drop slightly inland from these two large cities, and in the Akhdar Mountains region, summer is to be preferred to winter.
Travelling in the Sahara could be done even in summer, but only for those supporting high temperatures with ease. Staying indoors during midday, will then be compulsory. However, waiting until the period from November to February, will add to the total experience.
