Libya is on the high-risk jurisdiction list where Airalo doesn't operate by corporate policy. eSIM Access maintains legal wholesale roaming routes with Libyana, which lets us sell legally from the EU.

Travel context
Libya receives little tourism since 2011 — mostly oil workers, engineers, and photojournalists documenting the political transition. Tripoli and Benghazi have decent mobile infrastructure; the rest of the country is uneven. European roaming: €20-30/day.
Local mobile carriers
Libyana covers virtually all the populated north. Almadar Aljadid is comparable in cities but weaker in the south. Sahara coverage almost nonexistent — don't expect data on remote routes.
Entry requirements
Visa required with invitation from a local company or agency. Diplomatic advisories often counsel against travel. If going, arrange with a local fixer before landing.
