Libya Unveiled - Wild Frontiers
Libya is a fascinating place to visit especially before mass tourism hits. The Wild Frontiers trip was mind blowing from the sheer scale of the ruins at Leptis Magna; the beauty of the villa nearby; the desert in its many different guises; to the ghost town of Ghat - topped with the most delightful Tuareg drivers and cook it was a perfect holiday.
Libya Unveiled - Wild Frontiers
Why Libya? Colourful history; wonderful Punic and Roman sites; fantastic mosaics; knowledgeable local guides; a dozen different types of desert in the Sahara; driving over sand dunes, rock plains and everything in between in ancient Land Cruisers, accompanied by lilting Tuareg music; hospitable Tuareg guides and drivers; camping in the desert; prehistoric cave and wall paintings and carvings; swimming in oases; the superb national museum in Tripoli, exquisite Tuareg jewellery, luscious dates, spice markets and nuts. Jonny B provided seemingly effortless leadership and for a recce trip it worked remarkably well. The other travellers were great company. We can recommend going there but soon, before mass tourism arrives, and of course with Wild Frontiers - Libya Unveiled.
Libya Unveiled - Wild Frontiers
Where to start? The mix of desert solitude and classical sites was what really appealed, and the trip exceeded expectations. The desert landscapes were incredible - the sense of space, emptiness, and the force of nature. Leptis Magna and Sabratha must be amongst the best classicial sites in the world - and we had them almost to ourselves! A great escape - arab souks, fantastic ancient cities, the vast solitude of the Sahara, and throughout great Libyan hospitality - this trip gave us a real flavour into a fascinating country - Libya Unveiled.
