Nightlife:

Libyan law prohibits the sale or consumption of alcohol, therefore traditional night venues like bars and clubs are conspicuously absent in Tripoli. After sunset, the city is generally quiet as the city’s residents return home. The Medina is then the liveliest part of town where locals can be found drinking in the quarter’s street cafes and tearooms. The best advice is to wander around until you find a busy cafe. The waterfront outside Green Square also comes alive with people drinking coffee, soft drinks and smoking shisha pipes during the early evening. Enjoying a leisurely meal (see Restaurants), drinking non-alcoholic drinks in hotel café-bars, or taking in a theatrical performance (see Culture) are alternative ways to while away an hour or two during a lazy Tripoli evening. The Tripoli Café at the Corinthia Bab Africa Hotel (see Hotels), where ‘mocktails’ are served in pleasant surrounds, is worth visiting.
