TRIPOLI (MJI/TIP)

Tripoli, the capital of Libya, is a coastal metropolis steeped in history, located on a rocky promontory along the Mediterranean. Known as the “Bride of the Sea,” it seamlessly blends ancient Phoenician, Roman, and Ottoman influences with modern urban life. Visitors arriving at Mitiga International Airport can explore the winding alleyways of the Old Medina, visit the historic Red Castle Museum, and marvel at the Roman Arch of Marcus Aurelius. While Tripoli serves as a gateway to nearby UNESCO sites, travelers should check current security advisories before planning a trip.
