This
trip offers you the rare opportunity to be among the first Westerners in decades
to see some of the world’s most spectacular and well preserved Greek and Roman
cities of Classical antiquity, which are dotted along the Mediterranean coastline
of Libya in North Africa. The Roman city of Leptis Magna is justifiably considered
the world’s finest ancient Roman site. The sheer scale of the city and beauty
of its architecture will take your breath away. The Roman city of Sabratha,
with its many fine monuments, beautiful mosaics and statues still in-situ,
is simply stunning. Although it is perhaps the imposing pink limestone theatre
that dominates the horizon as you approach.
The
Greek city of Cyrene, located in the Green Mountains of Cyrenaica, was modelled
on Delphi in Greece. Picturesquely situated high upon a stepped hillside overlooking
the Mediterranean, it is an awe-inspiring sight. Since Libya still sees relatively
few tourists, we can expect to have these and Libya’s other ancient sites
almost entirely to ourselves. Our guided tours are conducted by specialist
archaeologists whose indepth knowledge of Libya’s ancient cities ensures that
you get the most from your visit to each. Libya is a living juxtaposition
of traditional and modern life where you can expect to receive a warm and
hospitable Arab welcome.
