Languages: Arabic, Italian, English

Tripoli: A city with a long history including Italians, Romans and Greeks, Tripoli is a port city that has some great sights. Start in the Green Square, at the town center and central to most of the attractions, then head to the main medina for copperwork, fabrics and jewelry, then see the Jamahiriya Museum, with four floors of artifacts from the country's Leptis and Islamic history, and then enjoy the landmark Assai al-Hamra, or Red Castle, a massive complex with courtyards that will take an afternoon to explore.

    Libya has the fifth highest GDP (PPP) per capita of Africa, behind Botswana, Equatorial Guinea, Gabon and Seychelles. This is largely due to its large petroleum reserves and low population.Annual Statistical Bulletin, (2004), "World proven crude oil reserves by country, 1980?2004", O.P.E.C., Accessed July 20, 2006World Economic Outlook Database, (April, 2006), "Report for Selected Countries and Subjects", International Monetary Fund, Accessed July 15, 2006
