CAIRO (Reuters) - Egyptian firms are eyeing a revival of business in Libya where a new government is starting work to rebuild the nation on Egypt's doorstep that was shattered by a decade of fighting and chaos.

Before 2011, when Libya slid into conflict, the oil-producing nation was a lucrative market for Egyptian exporters, contracting companies and workers. It was particularly attractive for businesses involved in food and construction.
