'''Suluq''' ({{lang-ar|سلوق|Sulūq}}) is a town in the [[Benghazi District]] of the [[Cyrenaica]] region in northeastern [[Libya]]. It is located about 53 kilometers to the south-east of [[Benghazi]].

==Italian Libya==
Suluq is the site of a former [[Italian concentration camps in Libya|Italian concentration camp]] for the [[nomadic tribe]]s that lived in Eastern Libya (Cyrenaica) during the colonial [[Italian North Africa]] and [[Italian Libya]] period. On 16 September 1931 [[Omar Mukhtar]], the leader of the [[Libyan resistance movement]], was hanged here.

Suluq was the southern inland terminus of a short [[narrow gauge]] {{Interlanguage link multi|Bengasi-Suluq Railroad|it|3=Ferrovia Bengasi-Soluch|lt=railway|vertical-align=sup}} built by the [[Italian Libya Railways]]. This line was closed around the 1960s.

==Present day==
Suluq is on the crossroad of many roads connecting her with several inhabited places like:
#[[Benghazi]] (to the north-west).
#[[Abyar, Libya|Al Abyar]] (to the north-east).
#[[Qaminis]] (to the west).
#[[El Magrun]] (to the south-west).
#[[Msus|Zawiyat Msus]] (to the south-east).

In 2009, 5,000 new housing units were built in Suluq.<ref>[http://gpco.gov.ly/online/detailsnews.php?id=758 "اللجنة الشعبية العامة" ("General People's Committee")]{{Dead link|date=March 2022 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}, Benghazi, in Arabic, accessed 25 May 2009</ref>
