Nightlife Spot: Cafe Salim

Since the revolution in 1969, Tripoli doesn't have any real nightlife such as you might find in other capital cities. Cafe Salim is about as good as it gets and it is where quite a few locals and foreign visitors gather to sit and drink tea or smoke hubble-bubble around sunset. From here you can sit under the elegant arches and look across at the former Italian cathedral and watch the people and traffic moving around Algeria Square. It is cold sitting here in the winter months, however. A large glass of mint tea costs 1 LD.

This is one of the most relaxing places to sit and rest your feet in Tripoli, after a day spent sightseeing.

hunterV Thu Apr 16, 2009 19:39 UTC Hello, Ian! Thanks for your story about your life in LY.	sourbugger Fri Jan 9, 2009 22:57 UTC amazing stuff - i had no idea
jecochrane Sun May 25, 2008 15:53 UTC Hi Found your comments on the 4 Seasons v helpful! I stayed in Tripoli a few times with friends (also in a hotel - can't remember the name but pretty dire) and now need somewhere not horribly expensive (or just horrible). 4 seasons sounds perfect. Janet	Basaic Tue Feb 12, 2008 21:08 UTC Great Tripoli Page!
