Traditions

Cultural differences between the provinces are important. The population of the west is far more cosmopolitan than that of the east and includes a higher proportion of people with Berber, Sudanese African, and Turkish origins. Cyrenaica was profoundly affected by the teachings of the 19th-century Sanusiyah, an Islamic brotherhood, which had little influence in the west and south. Since the 1969 coup, life-styles have been strongly influenced by the revolutionary government's restructuring of national and local government and its efforts to reduce the influence of traditional tribes.

Clothing

Libyan men wear loose cotton shirts upon trousers and cover themselves with a cloak. They also wear a flat, brimless cap. Libyan women wear full-length robe. Most of the Libyan population living in cities is turning towards western styles of dress. Some older men and women continue their affiliation to traditional clothing, especially during festivals and celebrations. It is very common to see members of the same family dressed in traditional and in European styles. Urban girls of Libya wear bright colored western costumes while boys wear jeans and shirts. Though many resort to European styles, most women continue the Islamic tradition by covering their faces.
