Bengazi - LoveToKnow 1911 |
 | | It is situated on a narrow strip of land between the Gulf of Sidra and a salt marsh, in 30 7' N. lat. |
 | | The Sudan produce (ivory, ostrich feathers, andc.) formerly brought to Bengazi by caravan, has now been almost wholly diverted to Tripoli, the eastern tracks from Wadai and Borku by way of Kufra to Aujila having become so unsafe that their natural difficulties are no longer worth braving. |
 | | The province of Bengazi, being still without telegraphs or roads, is one of the most backward in the Ottoman empire. |
