Designed for cruise ships calling at Libya, this full-day programme welcomes passengers ashore and takes care of the essentials: entry formalities, assistance at customs, passport registration, transport and tourist services. Excursions can be tailor-made to suit each group’s needs.
The signature excursion leaves Tripoli at 8 a.m. in a comfortable, air-conditioned coach along the coastal road to Leptis Magna, around 120 km east of the capital near Al-Khums. Founded in the Phoenician era and later one of the great ports of Roman Africa, it is today counted among the most beautiful archaeological sites of the Mediterranean. A guided tour continues until 14:30, followed by lunch at a restaurant and the return to Tripoli. A day trip to Sabratha (8 hours) is also offered.
