tour in Libya - 11 days
This itinerary can be modified to suit individual needs.
This is a special itinerary designed primarily for painters and artists who would like to paint some of Libya's best natural and archaeological wonders, including the Unesco-listed sites of the Sahara. The archaeological coastal sites provide the best examples of Roman architecture and art to be found outside Italy; the number and variety of statues, columns and buildings to paint is endless. Uniquely important are the ancient Berber granaries and castles of Nafousa Mountain, as those of Yefren, Kabaw and Nalut, and the prehistoric troglodyte caves of Gharyan, which surpass those of Tunisia, where some of Star Wars' scenes were taken, in both number and quality. Heading down towards the edge of the great Sahara, one is welcomed by the ancient roofed city of Ghadames, the home of a unique style
Libyan prehistoric Saharan engravings
Venturing farther south, you will enter the Sahara desert for a life-time adventure and experience, where you will be welcomed by the ancient ruins of Germa, the capital of the legendary Garamantian Kingdom. Using Tkerkiba as a campsite base, you will be undertaking daily trips to the great lakes of the Ubari Sand Sea for a breathtaking scenery, and to the prehistoric valleys of Metkhandoush, the home of thousands of prehistoric rock engravings, some of which have never been published before. This itinerary is customisable and you are always welcome to suggest new sites or routes you would like to follow.
