The UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office have advised against all travel to Libya; an advice that has been in place consistently since 2014.

"If you’re in Libya against this advice, you should seek to leave immediately by any practical means." The travel warning said.

It also added that all travel to, from and within Libya is at the traveller’s risk, adding that local security situations are fragile and can quickly deteriorate into intense fighting and clashes without warning.
