Culture in Libya — festivals, heritage and creation

Explore festivals across Libya, from Tripoli’s major stages to the traditions of Ghat, Ghadames, Houn, Kufra, Zuwara and Cyrene.

Libya has a broad cultural geography: Tripoli for film, theatre and malouf; Ghat and Ghadames for Saharan heritage; Houn for folk arts; Zuwara for Amazigh culture; and Cyrene and Leptis Magna for dialogue between creation and archaeology.

Festivals to explore

Browse the Libya Cultural Season 2026, the Tripoli International Malouf Festival, the Ghat International Tourism Festival, the National Theatre Arts Festival and the Cyrene Theatre Days.
