Libya: History | Geography | People | Facts | Economy
Would you like to explore the country of Libya, learn about its geographical features, amazing history and what life is like there?
We’re still in Africa, in one of the countries some feel shouldn’t have been on the continent. We’re going to Libya, one of the oldest kingdoms on earth. You’re not likely to have been to this country if you’re not a stark explorer. That’s if you aren’t a fan of Muammar Gaddafi. How does this country look like and what is life like in Libya? What about the size, the population, and the people? Does it have a special geographical feature? Are there other interesting facts about this country? Every effort has been made to ensure the accuracy of the facts we are stating in this video about Libya. For now, we’re pleased to present this video for your delight.
About Libya: Location and Size
Libya is a country in North Africa bordering the Mediterranean Sea in the north. It’s bordered by Tunisia to the northwest, the central African country of Chad to the south, Egypt to the east, Sudan to the southeast, Algeria to the west, and the West African country of Niger to the southwest. It comprises three historical regions, namely Tripolitania, Fezzan, and Cyrenaica. Formerly known by the names, United Libyan Kingdom, the Libyan Arab Republic, Socialist People's Libyan Arab Jamahiriya, and Great Socialist People's Libyan Arab Jamahiriya, the country’s current official name is the State of Libya.
Occupying an area of almost 700,000 square miles, it’s the 16th-largest country in the world and the 4th-largest in Africa. With the 2023 estimated population of 7,252,573, it’s the 106th most populous country in the world and 35th in Africa. Consistent with its small population and huge land, Libya is the 218th most densely populated given the low population density of 9.7 per square mile. The capital city of Libya is Tripoli which is also the largest and most populous city in the country. With a population of about 1.8 million, about one-quarter of all those living in Libya reside in the capital city. The country’s official language is Arabic while the local vernacular is known as Libyan Arabic. Other languages are Italian, English, and Berber.
Libya’s Geographical Features
Lying between latitudes 19 degrees and 34 degrees north, and longitudes 9 degrees and 26 degrees east, most of the country is covered by the Libyan Desert. Over 90 percent of the total land area of Libya is desert or semi-desert, according to CIA World Fact Book. It’s part home to the Sahara Desert which is the world’s largest hot desert in the world, excluding Arctic and Antarctic deserts. So when you hear the Libyan Desert, reference is being made to the part of the Sahara in Libya. Ironically, Libya's coastline is the longest of any country in Africa bordering the Mediterranean at 1,100 miles. That portion is called the Libyan Sea.
The northern regions of Libya enjoy a milder Mediterranean climate, the climate is mostly extremely dry, hot, and desert-like. However, it can be very arid. In fact, it only rains once in 10 or more years in some places! There’s the Waw an Namus volcanic crater deep in the Libyan Sahara Desert. It was formed by an ancient volcano that carried black ash some 12 miles across.
History of Libya
The history of Libya has been rich for thousands of years. In fact, the capital Tripoli was originally founded in the 7th century BC by the Phoenicians. If we really want to delve into the history of Libya, we must look at its 6 distinct periods, namely Ancient Libya, the Roman era, the Islamic era, Ottoman rule, Italian rule, and the Modern era. But that is a fact for another time. It involves a rich mix of ethnic groups, such as the indigenous Berbers/Amazigh people. The Amazigh people have always been part of the entire history of Libya.

Forbidden Tunnel inside the Bent Pyramid of Dahshur
When I was alone inside the Bent Pyramid which is located in Dahshur south of Giza and the Great Pyramid, I noticed a door that was locked. It had a hole in the fence so I decided to climb through to see what is inside.
I found myself in a long and steep passage and there was a pit which was covered with wooden planks. Also there was a very strong wind coming from this tunnel.
On the right side there was a white limestone block that was sticking out of the floor which made it look very special.
I continued to walk inside the tunnel and I switched off my flash light to see if there was any light coming from the end of the passage. It was pitch black dark.

The 6 Countries of North Africa
North Africa is a region of great diversity, with a rich history and culture. The region includes the 6 countries of Algeria, Egypt, Libya, Morocco, Sudan, and Tunisia. Each country in North Africa has its own unique customs and traditions.
For example, in Algeria the traditional music is called chaabi; while in Egypt there is both Arabic pop music as well as classical Arab music. Libyan cuisine features dishes such as couscous and tagine (a type of stew), while Tunisian food often includes harissa (a chili pepper paste) and merguez (spicy sausage).
The people of North Africa are just as diverse as the cultures and traditions. There are Arabs, Berbers, Copts (Egyptians who follow the Coptic Orthodox Church), Tuaregs (an ethnic group from Saharan regions), and many others. This diversity makes for a fascinating melting pot of cultures!
In today’s video, we’ll learn more about these 6 North African countries and know more about their geographical status, their culture, language as well as economy. So, let’s get started, shall we?
1. Algeria
Algeria is a country located in the Maghreb region of North Africa. With an area of 2.3 million km2, it is the largest country in Africa and tenth-largest in the world. Algeria has a population of over 43 million people, making it the most populous Arab state and 33rd populous country in the world. The capital city Algiers is located on the Mediterranean Sea coast with 3.7 million inhabitants as of 2021!
The Algerian economy remains dominated by its hydrocarbon sector; oil and natural gas production make up more than 95% of exports while accounting for 60% of government revenues, 35% of GDP (2018 est.). Hydrocarbons have given Algeria considerable political leverage internationally as well as enabling it to amass large foreign exchange reserves estimated at US$43 billion (as of 2022).
However, declining global energy prices led to lower export earnings and slower growth rates from 2014 onwards resulting in increased economic difficulties including high unemployment which stood at 12% according to official figures! As far as tourist attractions go, there are quite a few beautiful cities to visit, but some of the most popular tourist destinations include Algiers, Oran, and Constantine. These cities offer a variety of historical and cultural attractions for visitors to enjoy!
2. Egypt
Egypt is a country located in the northeast corner of Africa. With a population of over 103 million people, it is the most populous nation on the North African continent. Egypt covers an area of approximately 1 million km2, making it one of the largest countries in both Africa and the Middle East. The capital city of Cairo is home to more than 10 million people, making it one of the world's largest metropolitan areas.
Egyptians are known for their rich history and culture which dates back thousands of years.

AFRICA | All countries of Africa | Continent
Africa contains a total of 54 independent countries, 3 dependencies, and one disputed territory. The United Nations divides Africa into five subregions for statistical purposes. They are Northern Africa, Eastern Africa, Western Africa, Middle Africa, and Southern Africa. The borders of Africa were largely drawn up by former European colonial powers, and for the most part do not reflect the ethnic, linguistic, or religious divisions of the continent.

I'm back in Ethiopia for the 3rd time because it's one of my favorite countries in Africa! I am now exploring a city in the North called Gondar, and little did I know that I'd come across thousands of fellow Jews.
As you might know by now, I enjoy connecting with Jewish communities around the world, like I've done in Afghanistan, Yemen, Turkmenistan, Georgia, Philippines among many others -- but this experience has been the most eye-opening because of how alive the Jewish culture is. Some 4,000 Ethiopian Jews are here, studying torah, keeping Shabbat and learning Hebrew.
If this is not a fascinating story, then I am not sure what is! Join me as I take you inside the world of the forgotten Jewish tribe of Ethiopia.
