Misratah is a port city on the Mediterranean coast of Libya, east of Tripoli, and is one of the country's principal commercial centres. It has a long trading history and its merchant families remain influential in Libyan commerce.
The city is commercial rather than a destination, with its port and the surrounding coast the main features. The Roman site at Leptis Magna, among the best-preserved Roman cities anywhere, lies west along the coast and is the major regional monument.
Shared taxis are the standard transport and a car is helpful given the city's spread. Travel within Libya requires careful planning and current local advice.
The coastal climate is Mediterranean, with hot dry summers and mild wetter winters. Spring and autumn are the most comfortable, and the ghibli wind can bring dust and sharp heat from the interior.
Libya uses the LYD, calling code +218.
Libya uses the dinar, and Arabic is the language with limited English. Hospitality toward guests is emphatic, and cash is essential as electronic payment is not generally available.
