Tobruk is a port city located in northeastern Libya, on the Mediterranean coast. It is situated in the Cyrenaica region, near the border with Egypt. Tobruk has a natural harbor, which has historically made it an important strategic location, particularly during World War II when it was the site of significant military battles.
