The Great Socialist People's Libyan Arab Jamahiriya, also known as Libya, borders the Mediterranean Sea, between Tunisia and Egypt. More than 90% of the country is desert or semi desert, while the rest of the country lies alongside the northern Mediterranean coastline.
The Sahara is diagonally split into a western and an eastern half by a series of highlands. Its central part is a place of extreme aridity, where there has been no rainfall for 20-30 years. No one can live here, unlike the western part of the Sahara where one need not travel more than 100km before reaching an underground water source.
Libyan highlights:
• Buzema oasis has very hot spring water, a perfect remedy for hours of off-road driving. This spa town, once famous for its dates, has long been deserted.
