Misurata, the port city of Libya, is the third largest city after Tripoli and Benghazi. The busy port and tourism centers on the Mediterranean coast are the major sources of income for the city economy. Established in the 10th century BC by Phoenicians, Misurata has always been a city where commercial activity has been intensively experienced in every period of history due to its geographical location. It has been in the supply center of caravans for many years and it has been characterized as a big market city with this feature.

Misurata grew very quickly thanks to its trade potential, and throughout its history, it has changed hands as a result of invasion and conquests. In the city, the Turkish identity, ranging from the Ottoman period to the present day, is dominant. As a result, urban texture has been shaped by Turkish and European architecture. Misurata, where heavy and light industries such as iron, steel, weaving, textile are heavily present, is considered to be the business and trade capital of the country. It is also the city with the highest standard of living throughout the country.

The Mediterranean coasts to the north and east, the green horns rising between the deserts and sand dunes in the south, the forest areas consisting of palm and olive trees and the antique city ruins belonging to the Greek period in the coastal area are the most interesting sightseeing points of the city. Steppe climate is dominant in Misurata, receiving little rainfall throughout the year. Misurata International Airport is 12 kilometers away from the city center.
