British Citizen- Lybia, Algeria, Morocco- Visa help please!!!! Hi guys,

Am going from p.e (south africa) to paris(france) via the east coast of africa up to egypt before going left at alexandria through lybia,tunisia, algeria and morocco and then north.Have been looking at visa information for each country. Would love some advice on the following if anyone has any:

Firslty am i right in saying that libya requires a guide and a transit visa and that this transit visa can only be obtained through a libyian tourist guide company?

Secondly that there is absolutely no way of crossing between morrocco and algeria and that this is only possible by going from algeria south into mauritiania and then north but i have read advice against crossing this border..has anyone taken this route?

Any info would be so much appreciated!!
Thanks
Mike

Hi Mike,

I went to Libya last year and I needed an invitation letter from a local company. I guess a local travel agent would be ok. I actually drove from Tripoli to Ras Lanuf by car, about 6 or 7 hours. Not really a lank exciting trip and almost got killed when the driver fell asleep on the way back just before the airport and went straight through a roundabout. Anyway. Was lucky. The car was vrot though. Had to walk the last few hundred meters to the airport......

Hope you come right there.

Bye the way. Speak to my mate in CT. He drove from Mali to Cape Town on his bike. He might be able to give you some tips. heyedaun@hotmail.com is his address.

Bye

Dirk
