Explore the Roman ruins of Leptis Magna and Sabratah

Delve into the little known Berber lifestyle , deep in the Libyan desert

*A note about pricing: whilst most of our tours are priced and paid for in USD, EUR is king in Libya, so it makes much more logical sense to price everything in and receive Euros for our Libya tours.

Itinerary

Day 1Fri Dec 5

Tripoli

We'll take the early morning flight from Tunis to Tripoli, arriving as a group in Tripoli. (It is possible to fly from elsewhere and arrive separately, however, an extra charge will be incurred for a separate arrival.)
Checking into the hotel, we'll spend the rest of the day exploring Tripoli.
While exploring Tripoli we will visit the Red Castle Museum, the Arch of Marcus Aurelius, and the main souq. We will also wander around the streets and get a feel for the unique style of the city with coffee and gelato stops.
In the evening we'll go to our favourite takeaway burger shop, famous in Tripoli and always busy. The winding queue is one of our favourite parts of it actually, as it's a great opportunity to do some people watching and strike up a conversation with a fellow burger-waitee. All part of the experience! We'll collect our burgers and then go and wander through and sit in a nearby park, to continue soaking in some of the evening atmosphere.
