The first women's exclusive coffee shop in Libya

International online feature: according to Sky News Arabic reported on April 23, Libya's first women's exclusive coffee shop recently opened in the capital Tripoli, welcomed by Libyan women.

The cafe, named "Mangou Caf é", is the first women-only coffee shop in Libya. The sign in the foyer reads "female exclusive, do not disturb". The interior is comfortable and elegantly furnished, very much like a western coffee shop.

Since its opening, the coffee shop has been very popular with women in Tripoli, coupled with the fact that it is located in the downtown commercial area, the coffee shop is often full of seats.

The owner of the coffee shop, a local man named Jalal, told reporters that the purpose of the coffee shop is to give women an exclusive space for them to chat, party and relax. He said he had the idea of opening a women's coffee shop as early as Gadhafi's reign, but failed to get a business license for a variety of reasons until after the fall of the Gadhafi regime.

A woman named Hana said in an interview that she is a regular customer of this coffee shop, and she and her female friends choose it as their meeting place every time. She believes that the coffee shop is not only a restaurant or leisure place, but also a women's exclusive social club. "although there are many traditions for us to abide by in Islamic society, we sometimes need freedom and independence." That's why we like to come here. "
