This is my reserved space when it get crowded.

One day Libya will be one of the major tourists destinations once its tourist infrastructure is finished and setup.The 2,000km of coastel beaches will be utilised and developed for the tourism industry .

I don't know what to call beaten and of the beaten paths in place like this, but visit the embassies quarter. I don't think any tour leads here, and unless you're not in troubles (and it's better not to be in troubles in Libya) no one goes here. The embassies quarter is another face of Tripoli. Lots of trees, clean streets, lovely colonial buildings and a park. Nice place to rest.

And who said it doesn't rain in Libya?

After 2 days of rain the dams in the wadis (valleys) south of Tripoli are holding back a large amount of water and you can see the result in the photo. A great place to relax.

High up on the side of Red Castle overlooking Green Square is the balcony from which Mussolini gave his speeches when he was in Tripoli. Gadaffi now uses the same balcony for his speeches.
