transit visa Libya
Hi Ursula,
Yes, we worked with Mr. Kalifa and also met the man in Zuwara. So they still did exist about 5 weeks ago!

there is no such thing as a transit visa, however you can get a normal visa to travel from border to border, you need at least 3 days however you would pay for 4 days, 3 days for your journey and an extra day for the guide to meet you at the egyptian border (omsaad).
For more information contact info@arkno.com
take care

usefull stuff
hey Eric
i have come back from cairo couple of weeks ago
wanted to do the same thing
was at the libyan embassy and whether you get the visa depends on luck,guy at the office,your arabic,nationality
i got transit visa but did not go there anyway
you ought to convince them that you wanna see the country and people even for couple of days
but you have to fly from tunis back to cairo anyway
they will not give you transit visa for the way back
take it easy

I'm hoping to ride through Libya from Egypt to Tunisia in a few weeks (end of February, beginning of March, 2008). Is there anyone who would like to split costs on a guide? AND can anyone recommend a useful guide service? I'd prefer to get a "transit visa," but I've read everything ranging from it's easy to get and, it doesn't exist. Sigh.

Hello,
Maybe not for overlanders but...
I have got transit visa (72hrs) at Tripoli airport. I needed only translated passport and onward ticket. The airline (Afriqiyah) provided me unexpectedly with free accomodation in the downtown and airport transfers.
Best regards,

Don't get your hopes up as an over-lander for a "transit visa" if applying in Cairo. I met two guys who have been here waiting on the papers for over a month now. One finally got the visa, but he's traveling via public transportation on a Taiwanese passport (it took him a month of waiting, though). The other fellow is a Brit who, after waiting for over four weeks, has finally decided to hire a guide to take him through. If you want to try your luck without a guide service, it may be better to try somewhere other than in Cairo!
Thanks for the list of tour operators, Chris. That should be handy. Too late for me, unfortunately!
