Satuday, Nov 2 — Tripoli
I head Tunis–Carthage International Airport TUN, clear immigration and customs and head to my gate, maybe 48, which changes several times. The eager passengers are dressed very colorfully, and I realize the Mauritania Airlines flight is sharing the same gate area as my Libyan Wings flight, the irony being that would have been my other flight had my Libya visa not been granted. At this exact moment, the evening adhan beginns, and many people in the gate area begin doing their ritual prayers in a very peaceful way. I can't stress how the local dress, the prayers and the overall scene create one of my most memorable boarding moments. I decide at this exact moment that I must visit Mauritania at one point, soon, and see more of these lovely people. Soon, my flight is called, and we board Libya Wings flight YL 83. At 9:15pm, our Airbus A319-100 5A-WLB takes off for Tripoli, Libya.
