Misrata, Mediterranean port city in northern Libya
The coastal city contains commercial zones, industrial areas, and a strategic port handling cargo traffic along the Mediterranean Sea at 10 meters elevation.
The settlement traces its origins to ancient Roman times when it operated as Thubactis, later developing into a center for trans-Saharan trade routes.
The local markets display textiles, handmade carpets, and traditional crafts that reflect the Berber Hawwara confederacy heritage of the region.
Multiple hotels and restaurants near the port area serve visitors, while the city maintains regular maritime connections with international shipping routes.
The steel mill industry forms the industrial backbone of Misrata, producing metal products that support construction across northern Africa.
