Travel in Libya

Security. Most countries around the world have issued travel advisories for Libya - basically saying "Do Not Travel to Libya". This is due to the dangerous security situation and the high threat of terrorism, kidnapping, and crime. The areas of Libya that border Algeria, Niger, Chad, and Sudan are considered very dangerous. Bandits and armed tribal groups operate in these areas.

Weather. Libya can experience severe weather. The Sahara desert is extremely hot. Libya's rainy season is from November to March. The highest temperatures are between June and September.

Money. The local currency is the Libyan Dinar (LYD). The use of credit cards in Libya is limited, it is a cash economy. There are very few ATMs and Traveller's cheques are not usually accepted.

Health. There are a number of vaccines recommended for travel to Libya. In addition, travelers are encouraged to bring their own medicine, have health insurance, and a medical evacuation plan.
