The land of SPLAJ (The Socialist Peoples Libyan Arab Jamharya), as Libya is officially known, is home to so many incredible ancient sites; such extraordinary and differing unspoilt desert landscapes and such a truly hospitable and welcoming people, for the intrepid traveller it makes a perfect short holiday. Highlights of this trip include Tripoli old town and the bustling bazaar, the UNESCO sites of Leptis Magna & Sabratha, the incredible Ubari sand seas, the Akakus Mountains and ancient rock art of the Sahara.
On this small group tour (maximum 12 people) to Libya you will witness all the wonders of Ancient Rome at Leptis Magna and Sabratha, plus take an adventure through the pristine Sahara desert, where you will travel through the amazing Ubari Sand Sea and the Akakus Mountains to see some of the best preserved rock art on earth. Combining the most impressive Roman ruins anywhere in the world with the myriad of wonders of the great Sahara Desert, this nine day itinerary to Libya will truly blow your socks off.
Anyone in a reasonable state of health should be perfectly able to cope with this tour; however, it should be made clear that this part of the world is not for the faint-hearted, or fastidious. The majority of the nights will be spent camping in the Sahara with few facilities and though that is undoubtedly a huge attraction to some it may not be to everyone’s taste.
Wild Frontiers Adventure Travel is are very aware of the economic, ecological and ethical impact tourism can have on ancient cultures and fragile environments. They realise that taking clients through such a region can have a negative impact on the lives of those who live there as well as the environment. On all the tours they therefore go to great lengths to minimise the negative and accentuate the positive… after all, there are also many good things that the traveller can bring. Dividing this issue into two categories, the ethical and the ecological, they are actively involved in trying to help local communities while doing as little damage to the world as we can.
Wild Frontiers Adventure Travel has teamed up with Carbon Clear to help you repair the biggest environmental impact of your trip – the greenhouse gas emissions from your flight. When you take one of their trips, they will make a contribution to Carbon Clear at no extra costs to yourself towards ‘offsetting’ or ‘neutralising’ these emissions. This is done by funding projects across the world that will reduce greenhouse gases on your behalf through sustainable energy or rainforest restoration.
