Taxi driver and recreation in Tripoli

1) Try this guy Hassan 0922426467, his English is OK

2) Never seen billards tables here, but a few of the coffe bars around Dahra have $hitty looking pool tables

3) Try down by the harbour, close to the Bab Corinthia, there are loads of locals go fishing there. They sell rods and tackle in the street market behind the medina

on this topic, are there any female taxi drivers like in Iran?

I have never seen a female taxi driver here.

thanks a lot Sandman. I will try this Hassan)))

Shadi's Taxi are good - 091 212 2639.  The owner speaks English and they will arrange out of town trips and such.  They will even take you to Tunisia for a weekend they tell me.  Great SAFE drive in nice vehicles.  Downside is that they are two or three times more expensive than the black and white cabs around town.
