I wouldn't get out of bed for a w@nk in a cold bath to go to Libya for that deal

I see your opinion of Libya has mellowed since you left my friend

Further to the OP's post, it all depends on your own situation. Do you have a family to support ?, are you a first time ex pat ?, are you hoping to save money whilst here ?. I am here with my wife, and whilst I won't disclose my salary on an open forum, I am managing to save a bit every month. The 800US per month would probably get you a car and a driver right enough. But as for getting anything really decent on 800 US to live, I don't think so, but as usual I stand to be corrected.

I live in Tripoli, so if you want any more info drop me a PM.

800USD = 1043LYD, you might find somewhere to live for that but it'd be nowhere near 'western' standards. I think you need to be looking at 2000LYD+ for a 2 bedroom house. If you've a family and want say a 3-4 bedroom place with pool & garden then 3000-4000LYD.
Air ticket once in 2 years is a crap deal. Most expats feel the need to get out of here more regularly than that. If you've a family, chances are they'll want to get out  in summer when it can be very hot and schools are closed. I think  a minimum of 1 trip back home per year.
I know quite a few people involved in civil engineering projects here and they NEED their holidays

I got in here specifically to read sandman's comment again.
Marvelous! Just marvelous!

hey, last post bumped me up to 200 and am now a "serial expat" but I really am not. Attaining Internet credibility is hard work, I tell ya!






Edited for spelling

Hi All

Thanks for all information and now I understand it is not worthy to accept the offer. Will wait for any new offer.

Thanks again

You know the voice of treason....

Hey Sandy - now that you're out of Libya are you going to tell us what you really think?



All this time I felt like you were holding back.

Believe me he was. I am sure in the fullness of time he will look back on his time in Libya with misty eyed fondness

A little booze probably helps....

I was tired and emotional!
