Tunisia Nears Completion of Border Crossing Upgrade with Libya

Tunisia Nears Completion of Border Crossing Upgrade with Libya

Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Tunisia’s Minister of Transport, Rachid Amari, announced that 80% of the redevelopment work at the Dhehiba border crossing with Libya is complete.

Located in Tunisia’s Tataouine region, the crossing is a vital gateway for Libyan travelers and traders, serving as a critical link between the two neighboring countries.

The redevelopment project, which began in April 2016, aimed to modernize the crossing within two years. However, frequent delays and interruptions have left the project incomplete, causing significant inconvenience for Libyan and Tunisian travelers.

Minister Amari stressed the urgent need to finish the remaining work to improve conditions for both travelers and border staff, as well as to keep pace with the growing volume of cross-border trade.

For Libyans, the Dhehiba border crossing is more than just a transit point—it is a lifeline for trade, essential goods, and personal travel. It serves Libya’s western regions, including the Nafusa Mountains, which rely heavily on Tunisia for economic activities and medical services.

Frequent delays in the development have frustrated Libyan traders and citizens who depend on smoother operations at the border for their livelihoods and mobility.

While Tunisia’s Ras Ajdir crossing handles higher volumes of traffic, Dhehiba is crucial for Libyan border communities and provides a strategic alternative.

The completion of the redevelopment is expected to boost trade, reduce waiting times, and improve security, benefitting Libyan travelers and businesses.
