Summer Libya Tour

What's it all about?

This tour invites you to explore the treasures of this North African gem, where ancient civilizations and modern influences converge.

Libya has been mired in civil strife since the fall of Gaddafi in 2011. Recently, however, the country is experiencing relative stability and with the introduction of a tourist e-visa, it’s never been easier to join one of our Libya tours.

Libya has the potential to become one of Africa’s and the Sahara’s great travel
destinations. It possesses some of the best-preserved ancient Roman ruins, picturesque oases, lost Saharan cities and the largest sand dunes in the world.

Join us as we unveil the secrets of Libya, a land where the echoes of ancient civilizations resonate in the wind and the warm hospitality of its people invites you to become part of its rich narrative.

We’re also running a once in a lifetime Algeria Total Solar Eclipse Tour directly following this trip. Spaces are limited so enquire today!

The Itinerary

July 23rd | Day 1 - Tripoli

Morning arrival into Tripoli. Airport transfer to our central city hotel.
Tripoli city tour – Visit the 19th-century Ottoman Clock Tower.
Explore the bustling souks of the old Medina.
See the Arch of Marcus Aurelius – built in 163 AD, the triumphal arch of Marcus Aurelius is Tripoli’s most iconic monument. It was the centre point of the old Roman city.
Visit Martyrs’ Square – formally known as Independence Square under Colonel Gaddafi. It’s the centre of the newer Italian-built area of the city.

July 24th | Day 2 - Jabel Nafusa | Tripoli

After breakfast, we drive south of Tripoli to the rocky mountains of Jebel Nafusa. The mountain rises abruptly from the desert plain of Jefara to a height of over 750 meters. The mountains are awe-inspiring. Jebal Nafusa is the heartland of the Berber people of Libya.
Visit the magnificent 12th-century fortified granary of Qasr al-Haj.
This intriguing structure
stores the harvests of the semi-nomadic people just as it has been for many centuries.
Continue to an old deserted village of Tamzin. Our final stop is Gaser Nalut before returning to Tripoli.

July 25th | Day 3 - Leptis Magna

Today we will visit Leptis Magna, one of the greatest ancient sites in the world. In its heyday during the reign of Libyan Emperor Septimius Severus, it was second only to Rome and housed over 100,000 people. This vast city remained buried for some 1300 years, and it was not until the 1920s that a major excavation by Italian and Libyan archaeologists revealed the limestone and marble wonders that we explore today.
Lunch nearby.
After extensively exploring the site, we return to Tripoli.
Walk along the newly opened Tripoli corniche!
Dinner, shisha and overnight in Tripoli.

July 26th | Day 4 - Sabratha

July 27th | Day 5 - Departure
