Looking Around Benghazi
View from my window in the Tibesti Hotel. The water in the center is called the 23rd July Lake, but is actually a part of the main salt water harbor. My office building is the tall, pyrmid-shaped building in the center right, called the Islamic Call Building.
Our offices on the 9th floor have great view of the harbor and city.

Driving Around
Benghazi has excellent roadways and streets
The main street in the Dubai suburb.
Street near city center.
Popular shopping street, quiet on a Friday morning.
Typical roundabout intersection. This one contains a memorial to the Great Man-made River Project, constructed with actual 3 meter diameter pipe sections from the project.
The Fish Market
The fish market is located in the metal building ahead, on the edge of the harbor where the daily catch is offloaded.
The fish sales area is quite large, and very noisy as hawkers yell out their special deals.
The selections are vast. There is even some kind of lobster (right center). All at great prices. There are two staffed kitchens ready to cook your purchases if you want.
