With about 1,76 sq km, Libya is the second biggest North African country. Located between Algeria and Tunisia in the west and Egypt in the east, Libya also borders the Mediterranean Sea in the north and (from west to east) Niger, Chad and the Sudan in the south. Virtually a hundred percent of its land territory is land area. Apart from the access to the sea (about 12 nm), Libya has no water resources on land, which consists to more than 90% of desert or semi-desert. Libyan climate ranges from Mediterranean along the coast line to extremely dry in the interior when going south. Although the barren, flat and undulating plains allow only a limited amount of land (1.03% of total territory) to be arable, Libya’s soil is hiding great richness. Most prominent natural resources are petroleum, natural gas and gypsum. | With about 1,76 sq km, Libya is the second biggest North African country.
