Al Bayda, Administrative center in northeastern Libya.
Al Bayda sits at an elevation of 623 meters in the Jabal al Akhdar region, approximately 32 kilometers from the Mediterranean Sea coastline.
The city expanded significantly during the 1950s when construction began on government buildings intended to establish Al Bayda as Libya's new capital.
The Omar Al-Mukhtar University campus and Islamic studies center in Al Bayda provide educational opportunities for students across eastern Libya.
Modern highways connect Al Bayda to Benghazi, located 110 miles away, while a local airfield facilitates regional transportation connections.
Al Bayda experiences winter snowfall due to its high elevation, distinguishing it from other Libyan cities with typically desert climates.
