About Libya |
 Libya…the
land of civilizations and history that has its roots in the
Garamantes culture, which actually goes back as far as 5000 BC.
There is not one of the civilizations that flourished in the
Mediterranean which did not leave its mark on Libya. There is
hardly a square inch of the Great Jamahiriya that is not rich in
finds or remains of the past.
First came the Phoenicians, then the Greeks, Carthaginians,
Romans, Vandals and Byzantines.
Desert, is a word that cannot fully describe the feeling of
space in the vastdesert-scapes; or the myriad forms of plant and
animals life that have put down roots there. An infinite variety
of land scapes, where areas of stony ground alternate with huge
expanses of rock worn smooth by the wind, salt deserts and
dried-up lakes, and enormous sand dunes that can reach a height
of over one thousand feet. There where the gazelles roam freely
and the camels still render their indispensable service to man,
and where sleeping out in the open becomes an unforgettable
experience beneath a sky of diamonds.
Enough to say that Libya is the gateway to the Arab Mughrab, and
the Link between Europe and Africa. It also connects the desert
to the sea and is acountry which has succeeded in remaining a
virigin land.
Libya is capable of offering tourists with a passion for
archaeology and love of adventure, first class hotel
accommodation, impressive historical remains, unique landscapes,
nature in all its glory, and striking contrasts.
Libya is all this and more. A world that has to be discovered,
so near to the heart of Europe and rest of Africa. A new world
that inspired the Greek historian Herodotus to say “ the new
comes from Libya
