LibyaLibya: travel information
How do you get to Libya?Airplane The international airports of Libya are Tripoli, Benghazi and Sebha. Ship Currently there are no regular ferry connections for private individuals due to the unstable situation in the country. Car/bus roads lead from Tunisia, Algeria, Niger, Chad and Egypt to Libya. Travel in the countryRailways There are no passenger trains in Libya. Bus There used to be a regular bus service between Tripoli and Benghazi, and a minibus between Benghazi and Tobruk. Whether the connections still exist cannot be found out - because of the extremely uncertain situation, probably not. Roads, rental cars The country's road network covers around 85,000 km. The main thoroughfare from west to east runs along the coast. Some major roads lead inland, including to Sebha, Ghadames and Kufra. It is difficult for tourists to find their way around when driving because since 1969 only street signs in Arabic have been allowed. Repairs and the purchase of spare parts are generally problematic in the country. Driving licenses are valid for three months, after which a Libyan driving license must be applied for. Air connections Domestic air connections exist between Tripoli and Benghazi, Sebha, Beida, Mersa Brega, Tobruk, Misurata, Ghadames and Kufra.

Libya: entry and exit regulationsFormalities, visasTo enter Libya, tourists need a valid passport and a visa and must also have sufficient funds for the duration of their stay (at least 500 Libyan dinars; exceptions apply, for example, to package deals, holders of official business visas, etc.). Citizens of Israel, as well as those whose passports contain Israeli visas, will be denied entry and transit. Entrants are obliged to register with the nearest passport authority within seven days and to indicate their whereabouts on the form provided for this purpose. (For overnight stays in a hotel, this is generally arranged by the hotel reception.) This does not apply to tourists who do not stay in Libya for more than seven days. The registration fee is ten Libyan dinars. A valid yellow fever vaccination must be proven when entering from a yellow fever infection area. Note In view of the desolate situation in Libya, it is almost impossible to visit the country as a tourist. Import and export of foreign currency

Recommended vaccinations when traveling to Libya are recommended vaccinations against the following diseases:
Compulsory vaccination For all persons older than one year and coming from a yellow fever infection area designated by the WHO, there is a compulsory vaccination against an illness with yellow fever. Yellow fever vaccination of children In most countries where a yellow fever vaccination is required, this also applies to children over one year of age, and in some countries even from six months. It should be noted that vaccination against yellow fever had a number of side effects, such as encephalitis. Around two-thirds of those affected were children under six months. Therefore, under no circumstances should children under this age be vaccinated. But children under one year of age should also not be vaccinated if possible. If in doubt, yellow fever infection areas must then be avoided. Any vaccination against yellow fever may only be carried out in specially authorized yellow fever vaccination centers!
