Location Information
The Cemetery is about 5 kilometres south-east of Benghazi in the Fuihat area.
From the city centre take the road following the coast past the sports stadium. Approximately 2 kilometres beyond the stadium is a large roundabout with a flyover on to the Tripoli road. Turn left at this roundabout, and Benghazi Military Cemetery is found 1 kilometre along this road on the right hand side.
NB: Benghazi British Military Cemetery should not be confused with Benghazi War Cemetery which is 3 kilometres along the road on the left hand side.
PLEASE NOTE that, although the Military Cemetery is usually kept locked, the key can be obtained during normal working hours from the Commission gardeners based at the War Cemetery nearby.
Visiting Information
FEBRUARY 2012 NOTE: Benghazi British Military Cemetery has recently suffered a major attack resulting in significant damage to many headstones within the site. The earlier planned renovations of headstones, notified to visitors in February 2011 has now been superseded by these events and once it is safe for our staff to access the site, the work to commence clearance will begin. Over time, the headstones will be replaced, but in the meantime, the graves will be marked with metal temporary markers, bearing the name of the casualty buried therein.
Given the current sensitive political situation in Libya, the CWGC strongly recommends that before considering a visit to Libya, you check the advice given by the Foreign & Commonwealth Office on the travel section of their website:
