TRAVEL & TEACH ENGLISH IN LIBYA

Libya - Level 4: Do Not Travel
Do not travel to Libya due to crime, terrorism, unexploded landmines, civil unrest, kidnapping, and armed conflict.

Teaching English abroad in Libya offers a unique opportunity to experience a country rich in history, culture, and natural beauty. Despite its challenges, Libya's desire to rebuild and engage with the global community has created a growing demand for English teachers, particularly in cities like Tripoli and Benghazi. Educators can expect to work with students eager to enhance their language skills for academic, professional, and personal growth. With its stunning Mediterranean coastline, ancient ruins like Leptis Magna, and welcoming communities, teaching in Libya provides a rewarding experience for those willing to adapt to its evolving landscape. Libya, the fourth largest country in Africa, is dominated by the vast Sahara Desert, which covers about 90% of its landmass. This arid expanse features shifting sand dunes, rocky plateaus, and occasional oases. Along the Mediterranean coastline, a narrow strip of fertile land provides a stark contrast to the desert interior. Libya's coastline stretches for approximately 1,770 kilometers and includes the Gulf of Sidra, a large indentation that juts into the land. The country shares borders with Egypt to the east, Sudan to the southeast, Chad and Niger to the south, and Algeria and Tunisia to the west, making it a gateway between North Africa and the Sahel region.
