Libya Address Format
Libyan addresses run smallest to largest: recipient, house number + street, then the city (conventionally written in capital letters), then the country. A P.O. Box line often replaces the street line ('P.O. Box 1234, TRIPOLI'). Public addressing documentation beyond the UPU example is limited.
