University of Tripoli announces suspension of classes and administrative work tomorrow, Sunday, due to the anticipated storm.

The University of Tripoli is the largest and oldest university in Libya, founded in 1957 as the University of Libya with its main campus in the capital. It was later restructured and renamed, playing a central role in the country’s higher education system. Its history reflects Libya’s modern development, though its operations have been significantly disrupted by the political instability following the 2011 civil war.

Tripoli is the capital and largest city of Libya, located on the country’s Mediterranean coast. Historically, it was founded by the Phoenicians in the 7th century BC and later became a significant Roman city, with its old medina showcasing layers of influence from subsequent Arab, Ottoman, and Italian colonial rule.
