Libya…EXPLORE THE HIDDEN GEMS
April 08 - April 18, 2025
Led by Tour Lecturer, Ian Shearer
Libya is a country of stark contrasts, offering visitors an opportunity to see some of the world's greatest Roman and Greek cities and the spectacular Libyan Desert. On Libya’s western Mediterranean coast, explore the charming Old Town in the country’s capital city of Tripoli and admire the breathtaking ancient Roman city of Leptis Magna. Travel to the heartland of the Berber people in the Nafusa Mountains to see one of the world’s greatest treasures, the Granary of Qasr al-Haj. Explore the unique whitewashed houses designed to keep the homes cool during the hot days and warm during the cold nights. Get a fascinating glimpse into the Berber culture and see how they live in traditional troglodyte caves. At the UNESCO World Heritage Site in Sabratha, you will discover Roman Ruins that date back to the second century AD. With Libya now allowing US Citizens to enter the country, now is the time to visit this stunning treasure.
