What cultural faux pas should I try to avoid making in Libya?

Answer this Question

We asked people in Libya if they could share any humorous cultural blunders they commited. For new expats, keep in mind that these incidents are an inevitable part of expat life. Learning to laugh about them is the key!...

"It is important to be aware of cultural norms when visiting Libya. It is important to dress modestly, especially for women, and to avoid public displays of affection. It is also important to respect religious customs, such as not eating or drinking in public during Ramadan. Additionally, it is important to be aware of the local customs and traditions, and to avoid making any comments that could be seen as offensive or disrespectful. Finally, it is important to be aware of the local laws and regulations, and to avoid any activities that could be seen as illegal or inappropriate," remarked another expat in Libya.
