Libya

by adena

Libya's multi-dimensional attractions, deriving from its diverse and fascinating history. Libya's location placed it in the radii of Roman, Arab, Turkish and Italian conquering adventures,, the others left in their wake architecture, culture and (in the case of the Romans), some fine archaeological treasures. Today, this provides for a wealth of stunning attractions.
Geographically, too, Libya is diverse. The northern shores have that distinctly Mediterranean atmosphere. Head southwards, though, and the story is markedly different, with the hot sands of the Sahara making for a very different kind of attraction. Here, travelers can adventure into the desert on one of the highly popular desert safaris.
