Guide aside, rough cost daily cost for LIbya

[Geoff van de Merwe]

Apart from the expense of the guide,
could somone please tell me the rough cost on a daily basis for Libya?
I am on a bike and if there is no way of shaking the guide,
i will be crossing straight through in 5days.
Trying to camp where possible.
Currently at Ben Gaurdane, crossing over on thurs 13th
cheers
Geoff

I can't help with the costs particularly (4wd rather than 'bike), except that fuel and food (and camping) are all very cheap.

All I would say is try to stretch your budget to more than 5 days - it's possibly the jewel in west Africa's crown, and when will you go back there...?

But, you know your budget better than me!

Sam.

Petrol is the chaepest in North Africa. No alcohol so no related expenses, though some Italian resteraunts in Tripoli seem to hold a stash. Hotels are expensive as they will normally insist on US Dollars. Make sure you take plenty of dollars with as you getting foreign exchange is not easy. No one takes plastic either. Food prices are on a par with the rest of North Africa.
