As Sidr, Abyar As Sirs, Es Sider
As Sidr, a port
situated roughly 23 kilometers west of Ras Lanuf, holds the distinction of
being Libya's largest oil depot, shipping approximately 447,000 barrels per
day. During the Cold War, this port's
name lent itself to an alternative designation for the Gulf of Sirte, the "Gulf of Sidra." Located right next to the port is Sidra Airport. Similar to Ras Lanuf, As Sidr's
primary function is as an oil hub, and documented tourist attractions are
scarce. However, visitors can enjoy the peaceful coastal ambience and explore
the city's unique character.
