Monuments
This trip offers you the rare opportunity and nice monuments 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.
