Libya, a lot of people might wonder why travelers go there. Although Libya opened its doors for tourists only a few years ago, their numbers have increased rapidly each year and lots of travel agencies & tour operators added Libya to their tours and annual catalogs. So what are tourists going to find and what is worth seeing in Libya?

The distinctive geographical location of Libya, lying in the middle of North Africa facing the southern Mediterranean coast of Europe, granted Libya the novelty of being the melting pot of many civilizations that rose and fell in the history of the Mediterranean region.

The Phoenicians, Greeks, Romans, Byzantines and ultimately Muslims left behind cities, ruins and shrines scattered all over the land that is now Libya, which makes Libya an "open air museum", around 1.8 million square-km. wide. You’ll be stunned by the Greek ruins of Cyrene and Apollonia and other cities holding the Byzantine and Roman identities like the glorious Leptis Magna and Sabrata, and the Islamic character still vivid in the Old City of Tripoli and its old mosques. You’ll be bewildered also by the deserts and the oases that are nothing less than amazing, like Ghadames and Ghat.

And never forget to include the civilizations that initiated in Libya: the Garmants who established the ancient city of Germa in the south, and the breath taking prehistoric engravings and drawings in the Tadrart Acacus mountains and Wadi Matcandoush in the southwestern region depicting life of that remote past. Some of these locations are UNESCO World Heritage sites.

Is this everything about Libya? Of course not! There are lots of other aspects that enrich the memory of each visitor to this country; lots of them described their stay in Libya as one of their best. You may not believe this until you experience it for yourself.

The endless beauty and quietness presented by the Libyan desert with its different environment and exceptional landscape varying from region to region. It is no doubt that it’ll all leave a clear mark in your memory when your sight can go as far as the horizon in some places or sometimes make you feel like you’re on another planet in other places or surprise you with the view of the lakes embraced by the sand dunes in the middle of the desert where you would never expect to find one drop of water!

This is not all, there are other incentives that’ll make your trip to Libya unique and remarkable, being a safe country and comprising warm welcoming locals who love and cherish their country, spontaneously responsible towards strangers, saving no effort nor energy in offering them any kind of help.
