Like you, we love to travel wherever and whenever we can. And, for the most part, that is both do-able and easy. Some places are – not surprisingly – out of the realm of reality for most of us (the North Pole for example) but out of the 195 countries on the planet, we have access to most, with the right desire and intent. So, here we discuss a country that has been a question mark for so many decades: Libya. On the USA “watch list,” Libya had its darker moments in the 1970’s and still has that dark cloud looming over its people. But, is it perhaps time to have another look? Time has moved on and maybe our preconceptions of the country should, too.
Libya has a rich historical and cultural heritage, with numerous ancient ruins and archaeological sites. The country was once part of the Roman Empire, and you can find well-preserved Roman cities such as Leptis Magna and Sabratha. The UNESCO World Heritage Site of Ghadames, an ancient desert oasis town, is also worth exploring. It’s also a gateway to the vast and stunning Sahara Desert. Travelers can embark on desert expeditions, go dune bashing, ride camels, and experience the unique landscapes of sand seas, rocky formations, and oasis towns.
