Libya is one of North Africa's most spectacular
countries with a fascinating history and is opening up to the international
tourist industry, although still rudimentary at this stage. It is a country of
stark contrasts, offering visitors an opportunity to see some of the greatest
Roman and Greek cities in the world, and the stunning vistas of the Sahara
desert. This former Italian colony, independent since 1951, abandoned its
weapons programs in 2003, thereby ended its international isolation. Spring
(March in particular) is the best time to explore Libya's ancient sites,
including the Temple of Zeus and the temple and baths of the Sanctuary of Apollo
at Cyrene which overlooks a plain stretching to the Sahara. The Acacus region of
the Libyan Sahara offers wild, spectacular scenery and prehistoric cave
paintings. If you enjoy 4-wheel drive desert travel, this is a region you should
not miss. Perhaps because of its isolation, visitors are effusively welcomed and
the Libyans are warm, helpful and generous. There are no beggars in the bazaars
and no hassle in the markets. Paul recently returned from Libya with a group of
adventurous Americans who traveled there to see the March 29th, 2006 solar
eclipse, safari through the Sahara and experience the capital city of Tripoli.
"It was well worth it," He said. Libya was featured in the Jan 06 British
Edition of Condé Nast Traveller.
