    Buraq Air

    Buraq Air, founded in 2000, is Libya's first private airline. I flew Buraq Air from Tripoli to Benghazi and back. Based on my experience, I would highly recommend this small, but modern and efficient, airline. I must admit I was a bit apprehensive as I had never heard of Buraq Air before and expected ageing planes and flight delays. But, what I got was a modern airline using Boeing 737-800s and flights that were punctual to the exact second.

    There are 3 or 4 flights daily between Libya's two main cities. The flight from Tripoli usually takes less than an hour while the flight from Benghazi takes just over an hour. This slight difference is because of the prevailing westerly winds.

    Domestic check-in at Benghazi's Benina International Airport is quick and easy. They are generous about hand baggage, so if you have two pieces of hand baggage, including a tennis bag, for example, you can keep it with you, no problem.

    In-flight they serve coffee, tea or a soft drink with a slice of cake. Try to get a window seat as the clear air in Libya gives you excellent views of the Tripoli and Benghazi areas.

    The daily flight schedule from Tripoli to Benghazi is:

    Flight No UZ0011
    Tripoli 09:30
    Benghazi 10:40

    UZ0005
    Tripoli 15:30
    Benghazi 16:40

    Tripoli 19:00
    Benghazi 20:10

    UZ0009
    Tripoli 21:00
    Benghazi 22:10

    From Benghazi to Tripoli:

    UZ0002
    Benghazi 07:30
    Tripoli 08:45

    UZ0034

    It's better to rent a car or use a taxi where the public transportation is not so comfortable.
    Of course if you don't share a travel group.

    The prises are alittle bit more cost than the other sorts of public transportation, but not expensive.

    Town Hall

    Built during the Italian occupation, the old town hall is now derelict and closed to the public.

    From this historical building Mussolini addressed the crowds, German field marshal Rommel received his troops and King Idris spoke to his subjects.

    One of the pleasant surprises of Benghazi is the archaeological site of the ancient Greek city of Berenice. It was named after the wife of Ptolemy III. There are Greek and Roman relics here as well as Byzantine mosaics.

    I really enjoyed wandering around the site, but was a little frustrated that I didn't know exactly what I was looking at. Excavations and restoration work are ongoing. It is nowhere near as extensive as Cyrene, but when archaeological work is complete and explanations of what the various parts of the site once were become available, this will be a significant attraction for visitors. Admission is free.

    Beit Medina Takafi is a beautifully restored Ottoman merchant's house, which is the centrepiece of the Medina renovation project. Stone archways and balconies surround an open courtyard with a fountain.

    It has recently opened as a museum with various exhibits relating to the local history of Benghazi, including ancient pottery and period clothes. Explanations are in Arabic only.

    Opening hours: 8am-10pm

    Benghazi's old town hall was built by the Italians in the early twentieth century. It was once the building from which the country was governed. From its balcony, Mussolini spoke to the Italian occupants of the city, Field Marshal Rommel reviewed the German troops and King Idris addressed his loyal citizens. It extends along the entire western side of Freedom Square. Now, perhaps because of its historical connections, this once grand building has been left to fall into disrepair, but , in spite of its broken windows and peeling walls, it still has a faded beauty.

    One of Benghazi's most distinctive landmarks is the former Italian Cathedral at the end of the Corniche, overlooking the harbour. This was once the largest church in North Africa. It is no longer used as a church, having been converted in 1970 into a mosque and later into the Arab Socialist Union headquarters. It is now falling into a state of disrepair, but its twin green domes can still be seen from afar. The neo-classical columns of its front portico are also impressive.

    Garyounis University was founded on December 15th 1955 as the Libyan University. It was the first university to open in Libya. It stands on the Corniche near the Former Italian Cathedral. I attended a meeting there and had a tour of the main building. I was surprised to find an impressive Arabesque cabinet that used to belong to the Queen of Libya standing at the back of one of the classsrooms. It is currently being used as a store cupboard by the cleaning lady.
