5 Exciting Places In Libya Travel – You Should visit
Leptis Magna, Al Khums
Leptis Magna is one of the various heritage sites in Libya. According to tourists, the ground is the most spectacular ancient Roman city outside Italy.
And we agree!
Leptis Magna has been the heart of various Roman histories across the Mediterranean. Since the city’s creation in the 7th century, it remains well-preserved.
The most beautiful part is that the city lies by the sea. That feature with the ruins makes the site one of the most spectacular tourist offerings in Libya.
Sabratha In Libya Travel
Also known as Roman Sabratha, Sabratha is another heritage site in Libya. You will love it here if archaeology interests you.
Indeed, the city has relics and a heavy presence of ancient Roman culture. Before the Romans, however, Sabratha was once home to the short-lived Numidian Kingdom.
Either way, Sabratha was a renowned trading post. So much so that it was one of the primary centers for sending locally-produced products out of Africa.
Besides history and commercial activities, Sabratha has some of Libya’s beautiful beaches. The best part is that Libyans hardly visit these resorts.
In other words, you’ll soak in all the fun to yourself.
Waw a Namus
First things first, Waw a Namus translates to “crater of mosquitoes.” So, you might want to go prepared.
Even with the mosquitoes, the site is worth all the trouble. Waw a Namus is somewhat extraordinary. It is a volcano that lies in the middle of a desert.
Amazing, huh?
Even more interesting is the scope of this landscape. Waw a Namus extends to about 20km. In its middle is a caldera filled with colorful lakes and date palms.
Before you even get to the caldera, you’d have walked at least 12miles of dark basaltic-ash and tephra.
The beauty of the landscape lies in the caldera. There you will find three exciting lakes and lush vegetation.
Besides nature viewing, you’ll also experience camel riding and desert rides at the Waw a Namus.
Acacus Mountains
Acacus (or Akakus) mountains are one of the numerous heritage sites in Libya. Funnily enough, the peaks are somewhat average.
So, why then do Acacus Mountains stand out?
The area is a hive of prehistoric rock arts. Almost all the mountains had inscriptions that date as far back as 12,000BCE.
About the inscriptions, they include animal pictograms and documentation of the cultural heritage of the people. There, you will find the art of people dancing and going about their daily lives.
The best part yet is that all those exciting rocks and arts lie in the desert. That means you’d also enjoy camel riding besides mountain hiking.
Tripoli
Your journey to Libya is not complete without visiting its capital city. That is why we decided to list it last.
At Tripoli, you will experience snorkeling, shopping, beaching, history, and museum tours. Besides that, the city is home to the wonderfully designed Red castle.
Also, Tripoli is the base of Martyr’s Square. In summary, the city is the cap to make your Libya visit truly memorable.
