Avoid Some Regions
UK FCDO: The FCDO advises against all travel to Libya, except for Tripoli, Benghazi, Al-Bayda, Derna and the surrounding Jebel Akhdar area, and Misrata, where it advises against all but essential travel. Heightened regional tension could lead to travel disruption at short notice. Travel insurance can be invalidated by travelling against FCDO advice.
