Day 1: Sabratha & Tripoli.

We will fly in the early morning with Libyan wings (roundtrip ticket costing around 200 euros) from Tunis to Mitiga, Tripoli. After clearing our arrival, we will drive straight to Sabratha, one of the most important historical sites in Libya. This city dates back to 500 BC and is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site. In 500 BC, the Phoenicians used Sabratha as a seaport and important trading post, and the Romans also utilized the area for its harbor. The city was damaged in a fourth-century earthquake and was later rebuilt to become one of the most popular tourist attractions in Libya today. The theater is probably the most popular site in Sabratha, dating back to around 175 AD, with a large 43-meter stage. It is believed that the theater could accommodate up to 5,000 spectators. There are also baths, temples, and a spectacular amphitheater that could house up to 10,000 spectators who would arrive to watch the duels that took place.

We will spend the afternoon exploring the capital including the Martyr's Square, the Bazaar, the Old Town, the Italian colonial buildings with an espresso and a Shisha, and enjoying a warm welcome dinner.

Day 2: Leptis Magna & Tripoli.

On the fifth day, we will visit the outstanding site at Leptis Magna, one of the greatest ancient sites in the world. Originally a Phoenician trading port, it prospered for nearly 1000 years before being brought down by Vandal invasions and sandstorms. During the reign of Libyan Emperor Septimius Severus, it was second only to Rome and housed over 100,000 people. This vast city remained buried for some 1300 years, and it was not until the 1920s that a major excavation by Italian and Libyan archaeologists revealed the limestone and marble wonders that we explore today. After our visit, we will have lunch nearby the site before returning to Tripoli to continue exploring in the afternoon and to enjoy our last dinner together.
