Libya
Libya is largely desert — the Sahara covers roughly 90 percent of its territory, and the landscape shifts between vast sand seas, rocky plateaux, and a narrow Mediterranean coastal strip where most of the population lives. Ancient ruins sit half-buried by dunes; the light is sharp and the air dry even near the sea.
About Libya
Overview
Located in North Africa and bordered by Egypt, Sudan, Chad, Niger, Algeria, and Tunisia, Libya has a long Mediterranean coastline to the north. Tripoli serves as the capital. Arabic is the official language and the Libyan dinar is the currency. The country's identity has been shaped by Berber, Arab, Ottoman, and Italian colonial histories, leaving a layered cultural inheritance that remains visible in architecture and daily life.
