Libya may have a rocky recent past and an unknown future, but nothing can take away from the absolute beauty and character that this country has to offer.
It is one of the largest countries in the world, and has been inhabited by the ancient tribes of the Berbers since the Bronze Age. Through the ages, this majestic country was ruled by various entities, including the Greeks, Egyptians and Romans. With all of this rich history, the amount of culture and customs found on the streets of Libya is surely something to behold!
Libya has two prominent cities: the capital city of Tripoli and the port city of Benghazi. Both of these cities have wonderful attractions, such as the Bushileef and Ah-Ruh-Aid beaches in Benghazi. Also see the archaeological sites that can be found around Tripoli, such as the Arch of Marcus Aurelius. A trip to the markets of Tripoli Medina is also a must.
An oasis Berber town, Ghadames, in the middle of the Sahara Desert is the perfect escape and known as ‘the pearl of the desert’. The white walls are perfect for keeping the harsh afternoon sun rays at bay while you sip on some mint tea and enjoy the vast views of the endless desert.
