About the country
Libya is a tourist destination with a rich historical heritage and stunning landscapes. Its main attractions include the ancient Roman and Greek ruins of Leptis Magna and Cyrene, considered among the best preserved in the world. The Sahara Desert covers much of the country, offering spectacular landscapes such as the Ubari Dunes and the Awbari Lakes. Tripoli, the capital, combines Islamic and Italian colonial architecture. Despite its tourist potential, political instability has limited access to many of its wonders.
