Sabratha

---

We spent the afternoon walking around the ancient roman ruins of Sabratha, located in Coastal Tripoltania. Frist we went to see the Amphitheatre which was set right on the Mediterranean and then drive along the Old Road to Oea to see the Antonine Temple, Judicial Basilica, Byzantine Wall, Forum, Temple of Serapis, and the Temple of Isis.

It is quite a magnificent site, perched across such a large area and with a beautiful setting on the water, you can almost picture life as it was. We found it strange that there were so little people around! If these ruins were in Western Europem you would have to wait hours to get in! We were told however that as we were here in the "off season" that most of the European tour groups tend to avoid the summer months, so with it being mid September, summer was still coming to an end and the heat was still strikingly hot.
