Narrative:
There should have been a normal rest opportunity prior to operating a red eye flight. Even with normal rest in ZZZ; there was no time to rest prior to departing ZZZ1 to skbo. Fatigue was an issue. Skbo as a special airport should have the most attentive crews available. I feel a two leg red eye is unsafe. We were awake for almost 20 hours while trying to navigate in the terrain around skbo.
