1- the best roman theatre in the world is present in the old city of Sabratha in Libya north west

The old city is so nice in spring you can see a lot of flowers at this time



( Sabratha is located about 67 km west of the Capital of Libya -Tripoli on the mediterranean )

2-This is Leptis Magna 123 km east of Tripoli on the mediterranean

Leptis Magna is the biggest preserved roman city in the world

this is the magic roman arch at Leptis Magna





3-The museum in Tripoli

VENUS



God of Greece ..... one of them

beautiful. i hope to make it to libya someday soon.

Thank you for sharing those. I'm hoping to spend the summer in North Africa next year and will definitely add those ruins to my list of sites to investigate.

Did anyone read the article in the NY Times a couple of Sundays ago about Libya and how people were having difficulty getting their visas approved if they were US citizens? Anyone know any more about this?

I didn't read in the NYT but my parents went last year through Spiekermann Travel in St. Clair Shores/Eastpointe Michigan. The agency arranged all their visas and what not. You pretty much have to have this arranged by an agency or they won't let you in. No independent travel is allowed. That's what I have heard anyway.

well I heard even the agencies were having trouble getting the visas.

It has been sorted out now (at least that's what I have been told). BootsnAll launched Libya Blog
