Before you go
- Read your government’s advisory for Libya and register with its traveller-enrolment service (for example STEP in the US) so the embassy can reach you.
- Check that your travel insurance covers Libya: many policies are void where your government advises against travel.
- Note the address and contact details of your nearest embassy or consulate, and share your itinerary with someone at home.
- Save offline maps, keep a charged power bank, and carry copies of your passport and visas separately from the originals.
- Set a WARNPOINT Near Me watch on where you’ll stay to be alerted to new strikes, unrest or hazards nearby.
