Libya

Libya is located in the northern part of Africa, just south of the Mediterranean Sea. Libya shares borders with Algeria, Niger, Chad, Sudan, and Egypt. Most of the country is covered by the Sahara Desert and it is extremely hot. In southern Libya during the summer, temperatures quickly climb above 50 degrees Celsius.
