Libya is a crossroads of history, continents and ancient empires. Home to the Mediterranean’s richest collection of Roman and Greek cities – Sabratha, Cyrene and, above all, Leptis Magna – each of which is overlaid by remnants of Byzantine splendor, it’s a place where history comes alive through the extraordinary monuments on its shores. Every corner of Tripoli resonates with a different period of history. It’s where the Sahara meets the Mediterranean. Libya is also home to Africa’s most exceptional and accessible desert scenery. The Sahara engulfs over 90% of the country, offering up vast sand seas the size of small European countries. Visit the enchanting oasis towns of Ghadames and Ghat, where the caravans once showcased the riches of Africa. Marvel at palm-fringed lakes surrounded by sand dunes in the desert’s heart. Go deeper into the desert and experience Jebel Acacus, one of the world’s finest open-air galleries of prehistoric rock art.
