We went to Libya a few years ago when on a cruise and found it a lovely,friendly palce. We felt absolutely safe walking round the bazaarsand met friendly,helpful people, one even bringing a friend with a calculator from a nearby bank so i could work out the cost which was minimal! of a beaded bag I wanted to buy. I wore a normal summer tee shirt and knee length skirt and didn't seem to cause any offence.It is definitely a no alchohol zone though, even cruise ships bars are closed when in Libyan waters but we were allowed to drink in our cabins
