Benghazi is a district in north-eastern Libya which together with the districts of Marj, Jebel Akhdar and Darnah form the Cyrenaica region located precisely on the Cyrenaica promontory, a prominent feature on the Libyan northeastern coast.
The name Cyrenaica comes from the antic Greek colony Cyrene that is now in the Jebel Akhdar District.
