Daunted by the prospect of Benghazi.

I arrived in Benghazi last week. My partner has been here for 14 months already but he's never really mentioned any social clubs although I'm sure there must be something out there. I can't offer any help or advice but would love to tag on to this thread and second your plea for information from other expats in Benghazi! I know there must be some!

I am moving to Benghazi from Tripoli, but the lack of info on the net & the less than complimentary postings are dampening my enthusiasm. Can there only be 20 expats Brits in the city?
Regardless, I am determined to make the best of it & would appreciate info on social gatherings, dinner clubs, book clubs, gyms.... anything to make life more palatable or hopefully even enjoyable.  Really appreciate your assistance.

Look on the bright side, soon there'll be 21 expat Brits

There is/was a Hash at Benghazi, in fact I think it's older than the one in Tripoli. Have a look here:

Benghazi Hash House Harriers

Some of the contacts might have moved on, but they can probably point you in the right direction.

You don't need to be a particularly keen runner or drinker for the hash & it's a good way to meet other expats.

Guys,

Thanks for the replies, especially the Hash contact. 

At the end of the day be there 20,21 or 200 expats it's Benghazi & I am getting paid to go.

Notwithstanding, if I can get someone to help me put some stockings on that "pig" & with some nice candle light...... it's really just a matter of perspective & perhaps alchahol.

Keep the info coming please.
