Yes, when facing north, west is to the left. This directional orientation is commonly used in navigation and mapping. However, if you are facing south, west would be on your right. The position of west changes based on your facing direction.

There is no such thing as "being left" of another country as left is a relative direction. (If I face north, left is west, but if I face south left is east.) However, as most people only use north-facing maps, the term left should roughly correspond with the cardinal direction "west" The country to the west of modern day Egypt is Libya.
