Location of Libya

The cuisine of Libya is a mix of Berber, Arab and Mediterranean cuisines with Tunisian and Italian influence.[1] One of the most popular Libyan dishes is bazin, an unleavened bread prepared with barley, water and salt.[2] Bazin is prepared by boiling barley flour in water and then beating it to create a dough using a magraf, which is a unique stick designed for this purpose.[3]

In Tripoli, Libya's capital, the cuisine is particularly influenced by Tunisian cuisine and Italian cuisine.[4] Pasta is common, and many seafood dishes are available.[4] Southern Libyan cuisine is more traditionally Arab, Tunisian and Berber. Common fruits and vegetables include figs, dates, oranges, apricots and olives.[4]

Pork consumption is forbidden to Muslims in Libya, in accordance with Sharia, the Islamic law. The consumption of alcoholic drinks is also forbidden to Libyan Muslims.
