| Libya ...... The
Cradle of Civilization |

| |
Libya…the land of civilizations and
history that has its roots in the Garamantes
culture, which actually goes back as far as 5000
BC.
There is not one of the civilizations that
flourished in the Mediterranean which did not
leave its mark on Libya. There is hardly a square
inch of the Great Jamahiriya that is not rich in
finds or remains of the past.
First came the
Phoenicians, then the Greeks, Carthaginians,
Romans, Vandals and Byzantines.
 |
Desert, is a word that cannot fully
describe the feeling of space in the
vastdesert-scapes; or the myriad forms of plant
and animals life that have put down roots there.
An infinite variety of land scapes, where areas of
stony ground alternate with huge expanses of rock
worn smooth by the wind, salt deserts and dried-up
lakes, and enormous sand dunes that can reach a
height of over one thousand feet. There where the
gazelles roam freely and the camels still render
their indispensable service to man, and where
sleeping out in the open becomes an unforgettable
experience beneath a sky of diamonds.
Enough to
say that Libya is the gateway to the Arab Mughrab,
and the Link between Europe and Africa. It also
connects the desert to the sea and is acountry
which has succeeded in remaining a virigin land.
 | Libya is capable of offering
tourists with a passion for archaeology and love
of adventure, first class hotel accommodation,
impressive historical remains, unique landscapes,
nature in all its glory, and striking
contrasts.
Libya is all this and more. A world
that has to be discovered, so near to the heart of
Europe and rest of Africa. A new world that
inspired the Greek historian Herodotus to say “
the new comes from
Libya”. |
