Passenger traffic at the Tunisian-Libyan border crossing of Wazin-Dhehiba reached approximately 1.1 million passengers in 2024, compared to only 688,000 in 2023, Rached Haddad, the delegate of Dhehiba said in a statement to a local media outlet.
Of the total, 618,000 passengers entered Tunisia, while 482,000 left the country.
In 2023, only 688,000 passengers had crossed the Tunisian-Libyan border, with 417,000 entering and 271,000 exiting Tunisia.
The delegate also noted that commercial traffic increased by 50%. In 2023, approximately 23,100 trucks passed through the border (12,560 entering and 10,540 exiting), while in 2024, the number of commercial trucks reached around 55,100 (29,300 entering and 25,700 exiting).
These figures confirm the growing movement of people and goods between the two neighboring countries through their second land border crossing, located 303 km south of Tripoli, on the other side of the Western Nafusa Mountains.
The Ras Jdir border crossing, situated along the coast (175 km west of Tripoli), remains by far the busiest land border crossing between the two countries.
