Holiday Sights Libya

Bordering on the Mediterranean Sea in between Egypt and Tunisia, Libya has had an exciting history of culture and invasions from the Vandals, Byzantines, and Romans etc. These invading civilisations have left amazing ruins at Leptis Magna, Cyrene and Sabratha. The capital Tripoli is a bustling city dominated by the Red Castle, Assaraya al-Hamra, with its large walls and gates. Filled with an oasis of palms and olive trees. Its has become a popular attraction for tourist with its surrounding museums, mosques and breathtaking views. A large percent of Libya is desert and this gives contrast to the beautiful oases and beaches. With the large quantity of ruins that the conquerors have left behind allows a lot of exploring.

It is the Berber and other nomadic tribes that have left the latest imprint on the lifestyle, language and culture. And it is this rich diversity that makes Libya such an exciting place to check out.
