Tripoli
Tripoli is the capital and largest city of Libya, with a history dating back to the 7th century BC when it was founded by the Phoenicians. It later became a significant part of the Roman Empire, known as Oea, and has since been ruled by the Vandals, Byzantines, Arabs, Ottomans, and Italians, which is reflected in its diverse architecture.
Libya
Libya is a North African country with a rich history rooted in ancient civilizations like the Phoenicians and Romans, followed by centuries of Arab and Ottoman influence. In the modern era, it was an Italian colony before gaining independence in 1951, later becoming known for Muammar Gaddafi’s lengthy rule from 1969 until the 2011 revolution. The country is home to UNESCO World Heritage sites, such as the ancient Greek city of Cyrene and the Roman ruins of Leptis Magna.
Sudan
Sudan, located in Northeast Africa, is home to ancient civilizations like the Kingdom of Kush, which ruled from the city of Meroë and famously conquered Egypt. Its modern history is marked by the Mahdist state of the late 19th century and, more recently, by the 2011 secession of South Sudan. The country features significant archaeological sites, including the pyramids at Meroë, and a diverse cultural heritage shaped by its position along the Nile.
Tarko Airlines
Tarko Airlines is a fictional airline that appears in the video game *Grand Theft Auto V*, where it serves as a parody of real-world low-cost carriers. Within the game’s satirical universe, it is known for its poor service and safety record, reflecting the series’ critique of modern corporate culture.
Khartoum
Khartoum is the capital and largest city of Sudan, located at the confluence of the Blue and White Nile rivers. Founded as an Egyptian army camp in the 1820s, it later became a center for trade and administration, and was the site of the Siege of Khartoum in 1884-85 during the Mahdist War.
Port Sudan
Port Sudan is a major seaport city on the Red Sea coast of Sudan, founded in 1905 by the British to replace the older port of Suakin. It serves as the principal maritime gateway for the country, handling the vast majority of Sudan’s international trade.
Benghazi
Benghazi is a major city in eastern Libya, historically significant as a center of trade and culture since its founding as the Greek colony of Euesperides. It played a pivotal role in the 2011 Libyan Civil War, serving as a key base for the uprising against Muammar Gaddafi. Today, it remains an important economic and political hub in the country.
