Bairdiyeh is an important port city on the Mediterranean coast of northwestern Libya, located about 200 kilometers east of the capital city of Tripoli, under the jurisdiction of the governorate of Marj. The city is located on the western side of the Gulf of Sirte, and is one of the strategic locations on the northern coast of Libya.
Bardiya is situated in a typical North African Mediterranean climate zone, with hot, dry summers and mild, rainy winters. The semi-arid steppe landscape that surrounds the city was historically an important area for nomadic herders. Its natural bay conditions provide a good basis for port operations.
As one of the main oil exporting ports in Libya, the port of Bairdiyah serves the dual function of crude oil export and material import. The city is connected to major cities such as Tripoli and Benghazi by coastal highways, and has oil pipelines connecting to inland oil fields, which makes it an important position in the national economy.
Bardiya was settled during the Roman period and developed into a military fortress during the Ottoman Empire. The modern city began to be built during the Italian colonial period, and now retains a distinctive style of traditional Arab markets alongside modern port facilities. In recent years the city has faced challenges due to the situation in Libya.
