This morning you fly from London to Tripoli. On arrival you will be met and taken to your hotel.
Today you visit the legendary city of Leptis Magna, about an hour`s drive from Tripoli. After touring the site, you will also visit the nearby Villa Silleen, home to some superb mosaics.
This morning you head from Sabratha, also about an hour from Tripoli. On the way you will stop at Janzour, where there is a small museum built over Punic underground tombs.
After flying in the morning from Tripoli to Benghazi, you drive to Apollonia, your base for the exploration of Cyrenaica. On the way you stop at Ptolemais, one of the major Classical cities of the region, and Qasr Libya where the most beautiful mosaics in Libya can be found.
You spend today at Cyrene, one of the most important and extensive sites dating to the Hellenistic period. Impressive temples, attractive mosaics and views stretching away to the Mediterranean coast make Cyrene a real highlight.
Today you visit Apollonia and Ras Hilal. The ancient site of Apollonia was the port for Cyrene, and was thus a place of some importance. It was also a place of some sanctity, witnessed by five basilica churches. Ras Hilal is the site of another Byzantine church, and an attractive waterfall.
From Al Bayda you return to Benghazi today, visiting Slontah and Qasr Libya en route. In the evening you fly from Benghazi back to Tripoli.
Touring Tripoli today, you will spend time in the attractive medina, as well as visiting the Jamahiriya Museum, a wonderful collection of Libyan heritage.
You head towards the Saharan entrepot of Ghadames today, passing through the Berber heartlands. At Qasr Al-Haj you see one of the best examples of the classic Berber fortified granaries, whilst the ruined village of Nalut is a heavily fortified and easily defended kasbah.
Ghadames is one of the almost mythological names of Saharan travel. Designed primarily to mitigate the effects of extreme heat, the narrow walkways and whitewashed walls are Ghadames`s signature.
You return to Tripoli today. At Kabow you visit a fortified granary built into the cliffs, whilst Tormisa is another example of a fortified Berber village. At Gharyan, troglodyte dwellings demonstrate another method of escaping the heat, and the attention of would-be raiders.
Today you are taken to the airport for your flight back to London Heathrow.
