transit through Libya without visa?
Another question to Libya....
today, we have been to the Libyan embassy in Sudan, asking for a visa for Libya to go from Egypt through Sudan straight to Tunisia.
They said we do not need a visa for transit. We should just go to the border and talk to the immigration. They would let us in without a visa for transit. I asked how many days we would have for the transit and she said: 3 or 7 ...how many as we need.
I am not sure about this....
Did anyone did this before, does anyone has any experiences?

I have not heard of this since the mid 90s before the advent of Libya tourism when you could wander in over the border, but in a way perhaps Libya is in such a muddle at the moment that it may work. Then again, consulates are often misinformed.
To save backtracking, be prepared with 'incentives' if you think they may ease the way, though I've never heard of that being necessary at Libyan borders.
I would try and get it in writing from the embassy in Khartoum and maybe ask again in Cairo (possible address and location below). And then have a Plan B in Egypt if you get turned back. I presume you're heading to Egypt anyway so have little to lose apart from having to do the dance at Saloum twice. That may be enough to put you off. If what you have been told is possible then someone will be the first, so good luck.
