Religion: **About 97 percent of all Libyans are Sunni Muslim. A small number are Roman Catholic**.

Culture: About 80 percent live along the Mediterranean coast or just south of the coast. More than 90 percent of Libya’s population is mixed of Berber and Arab ancestry. The Berbers lived long before the Arabs ever arrived.

Arabs is the official language and is spoken by most people in Libya, and the second language is English or Italian. Islam, is Libya’s official religion.

Many Libyan’s people live with extended family members and in single homes, because of the crowding. When the woman lived in these homes they got very little education, and still today it is the same way. Since they do not get very much education they have very little work force with about 10 percent of woman are working.

Libya’s large cities have high-rise office buildings and apartment buildings that fill the downtown areas, and suburban areas have more room for single family living. In rural areas most people live in stone or mud brick houses. Often families have a single room for all activities in their house and a shed for their animals.

Men wear loose cotton shirts and trousers covered by a cloak. They often wear a flat brimless cap, and woman wear a full length robe. Some people in Libya’s cities wear these clothes, because of their beliefs and values, but most city people wear western-style clothing.
