The following list of Libya websites (web sites) is carefully selected and thoroughly checked. All links were active and lead to the intended addresses at the time of publishing. The following list includes a list of Libyan government websites, a list of Libyan telecommunication websites, a list of Libyan oil companies, a list of Libyan business websites, a list of Libyan media and news websites, a list of Libyan hotels, and a short general list of various Libyan websites.
Please note that due to the recent events in Libya many of the older links were removed from these lists. The following lists will be updated as sites return to normality under the new government. Temehu.com shall not be held responsible for any external content.

Please note that due to the chaos imposed on Libya there are three
governments in the country:- the official and legitimate
government of the House of Representatives
(the HoR), which was elected on the 25th of June 2014; the so-called National
Salvation
government imposed by the defunct GNC (which has refused to recognise
the elected HoR, allegedly due to incomplete procedure of handing-over power
from the GNC to the HoR); and the UN-imposed GNA, which was initially
proposed by the UN to reconcile the two aforementioned governments before it
was imposed on the 17th of December 2015, despite the fact that the people of
Libya have already elected the HoR to run the country. This means that
the government websites are being contested by the three governments, with Tripoli's
government(s) having control over both: .gov and .ly domains.
Official Websites of The GNU:
GNU: the Government of National Unity: the first URL, appeared around the 3rd of March 2021, namely gnu.gov.ly, redirects to an empty page. Then around the 29th of March 2021, the GNU's new URL http://gnu.gov.ly redirected to the current website of the GNA's Prime Ministers Office (pm.gov.ly): gnu.gov.ly
Official Websites of The UN-Imposed GNA:
GNA: the Government of National Accord (حكومة الوفاق الوطني) started its
online activity via Facebook. The following URL appears to have been created
on the 5th of January 2016:
Official Websites of The Elected Government of Libya (HoR):
- HoR: House of Representatives (مجلس النواب): http://www.hor.ly/ -
the website went offline after the military takeover of Tripoli by the Libya
Dawn militia group. This is probably due to the fact that the domain authority
responsible for .ly domains is located in Tripoli. This took place around
October 2014.
- HoR: http://www.libyan-parliament.org/ :
this second HoR website appeared online around February 2015. The fact that
the site does not have a .gov domain confirms that the HoR has no access
to the domain authority in Tripoli. This website went offline in November 2018.
- In November 2018 a new HoR website went online: http://parliament.ly/. Even though the HoR seems to have recovered his .ly status it still does not have a .gov domain as the hijackers of Tripoli do.

The Websites of The Defunct Government of Libya (GNC):
The GNC's websites: please note that many of the following ministries
do not represent the official government of Libya despite having .gov domains.
These websites were taken over by the GNC's so-called "national
salvation government" around September and October 2014, shortly
after taking over the capital Tripoli after refusing to recognise the legitimacy
of the elected and internationally-recognised House of Representatives (HoR).

(In order to encourage tourism in Libya, the ministry of tourism blocked its website for the public, where only registered members can access the website. This happened after the GNC was renamed GNA. Let us hope the new leaders of the GNU reverse the decision.)
The Websites of The Self-Appointed National Transitional Council (NTC):
The following is a list of websites created by the NTC (the National Transitional
Council) during the bombing campaign of Libya and after the premature liberation
of some parts of Libya. Please
note that the sites have disappeared after the NTC was dissolved, and that
the current domain names link to sites that are not related to the original
NTC; probably because the domain names had been registered by somebody else
after they had expired. Therefore the domains in the following list are linked
to the archived pages at archive.org .
