The best fashion and gift stores Lybia

In this former commercial inn in the old town, there were shops and tourist souvenirs (Elmabrouk Abdallah Elshakshuki Tel portable: 091 370 27 59) and a small restaurant.

The first patio in the house Dar Yahzarkom is located on the Artisanat Artisanat boutique. The numerous pottery of Gharyan or Tunisia (including fine dishes at about 15 DL), as well as the crockery, the Tripoli painted tiles (from 5 to 35 DL), fabrics, chairs, tables, wooden sculptures and carpets occupy the entire patio, and the old shop has turned into a nice intimate café where guests can rest with a few paintings of painting. Libyan contemporary.

Not much in French in this book book library aside from the novels left by expatriates, but the very likeable owner of the bookstore will show you his photographs of the great Libyan writer Ibrahim el-Kony taken at Ghat.

This bookstore sells newspapers in English: the Tripoli Post, The Economist and Newsweek, and maps of the country.

The largest in Tripoli. For Anglophones (and arabic) only. A few fine books of Islamic architecture, an excellent collection of American university presses in Cairo with the flagship novels of contemporary Egyptian literature (if you read English, take advantage of it, some have not yet been translated into French). Book of Libyan cartoons by a disciple of Mohamed Zouawi.

Films and memory cards.

This is the most tourism-oriented shop, which quickly leaves a gold jewelry shop. On this small covered perimeter, spread on each side of an open patio, all the typical souvenirs of a trip to the Maghreb are concentrated: carpets, postcards, clothing, decorative objects, poufs imported or from Misratha (more beautiful, 40 DL), etc.

This small boutique, close to Square Square, has a window covered with old photos. Inside, in addition to his photo studio activities, the Patron boss sells a whole range of interesting photographs from Tripoli at the time of colonization or more recent, in photo format, at 1,5 DL the cliché.
