About 90% of the total area of Libya is covered by a desert (Sahara Desert).
Libya – Mosaics
When I was in Libya, I was impressed by the way all ancient places looked like, they were in a quite good shape. Moreover, you could just walk on all mosaics!
I felt a bit like “oh, but I don’t want to step on it, I don’t want to destroy it”.
Libya – History
Libya has a very, very long history, and some archaeological findings date back to 8000 BC!
Libya – Ancient Ruins
If you love ruins (I do! 🙂 ) then Libya is for you!
You can find amazing places in Libya. Unfortunately, some of them, should had looked better these days…
Libya – Why to go
I went to Libya driven by curiosity to see amazing ancient Roman and Greek ruins (i.e., Leptis Magna, Cyrene, Sabratha).
And I wasn’t disappointed, they’re fantastic!
Libya – Very Large
Actually, Libya is not only one of the largest countries in Africa, it’s also in the first 20 of the largest countries in the world.
Libya – Large & Empty
Libya is one of the largest countries in Africa with one of the lowest density population (in Africa).
Libya – Visa
Obtaining a visa to Libya may be quite difficult, because some embassies are temporarily closed.
If you’r planning to go as a media representative etc., it’s possible, but doesn’t mean it’s safe.
Libya – Traveling
When I was in Libya, it was a relatively safe country, with some restrictions, but still, as a tourist you didn’t have to worry so much.
These days, it’s a totally different story.
Everything may happen…
Moreover, roads, airports, tour companies, etc. are temporary closed.
Libya – Go or not
At that moment authorities of almost each country, advise against traveling to Libya.
Unfortunately, they have good reasons to do so…
I will not talk about the political situation in Libya, war, etc., because it’s a travel blog, I’ll mention a few facts hoping that one day the situation will be stable and the country will be safe to tourists.
Libya – Have you been there?
Have you ever been to Libya?
I’m curios, when was it and what’s your impressions?
Libya is a country that changes a lot since years; let’s hope it’s for better and let’s hope “soon” tourists can enjoy the beauty of Libya.
Libya – Libya or Syria
In daily travel impressions on my blog, every month, I show you a different country or place I visited in the past. Some of the trips were done a month earlier, but others – many years ago.
I visited Libya in 2004, so it’s already 14 years ago! That’s a lot, especially for Libya, because its recent history is so intense and there are many changes. Definitely, Libya was quite a different country 14 years ago…
I remember, before I went to Libya, I wasn’t sure should I go to Syria or Libya; at the end I chose Libya. I haven’t visited Syria yet. Now, I regret that I didn’t visit both countries that time…
Libya – Introduction
Hello and Welcome in April! 🙂
This month, we’re going to spend in Libya, of course, virtually.
South Korea – Final impression
It’s time to say goodbye South Korea!
I hope you liked my travel impressions in March.
As a summary, I recommend visiting South Korea; especially don’t miss Jeju Island – it’s definitely my favorite part of Korea.
And tomorrow, we’re going to say hello to a very warm place. 🙂
Stay tuned!
