The Libyan people have a simple and ancient style, deeply influenced by Islam, and they are taboo from talking to women alone. Except for general prohibited items, alcohol, pork, and other items are prohibited from entering the country. Social class consciousness is not strong, and when meeting regardless of class, shaking hands is a courtesy. Correspondence with official institutions must be in Arabic. Arrange meetings in Libya as early as possible and arrive on time. Libyans are very flexible in their use of time and are not constrained by schedule arrangements. Libyan cuisine combines Arab and Mediterranean cooking styles and is deeply influenced by Italian cuisine. However, the current social security situation is unstable, with a small number of young people drinking alcohol and taking drugs.
