A wealth of unseen cult treasures latent in Libya and a wide variety of touristicl potentials and possibilities to be discovered.
The distinctive geographical position of Libya situated at central North Africa, facing the Mediterranean southern shoreline of Europe granted her the novelty of being the melting pot of many civilizations that rose and fell across history, hence playing an important role of correlation between all such civilizations prospered in Arabia and the Mediterranean basin and carrying their charms and influence in active links with the African Sub Saharas. The Phoenicians, Greek, Roman, Byzantine and ultimately the Islamic civilizations have all left permanent marks in Libya; ancient towns, old cities, ruins, shrines, mausoleums, and many other different valuable historical sites and locations spread all over the vast area of the Libyan land. This turned Libya into an open huge museum of about 2 million square kilometers wide
You will be impressed with the Greek archeological sites in Apollonia and Cyrene and other sites that carry the Byzantine and Roman aurora such as the famous Leptis Magna and Sabratha and the Islamic character still vivid in the Old City in Tripoli with its mosques and architecture. Yet, these features splendid as they are never less charming than desert oases such as Ghat and Ghadames also known as ‘pearl of the desert’. Not forgetting of course the historical treasures left by civilizations that originated locally such as the Garmant whose ruins and relics are yet intact in the Old City of Germa situated in southern Libya. Further west south, in Tadrart Acacus Mountain and in Al Awaynat mountain in the east southern rims we can find traces left by the inhabitants of the Libyan Sahara desert during the rainy epoch represented in the magnificent paintings and engravings depicting life from as long as 10,000 years ago. Some of these historical sites and locations in Libya are recognized as UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
So, welcome to Libya, and make sure that you will not miss the opportunity to explore the potentials, incentives and temptations to see Libya with Numidia.

Greetings,
It was fantastic to read your accurate blog. First I have joined--just had to affirm that the "Roman ruins" that are found in Libya, as well as the Arabic history is unsurpassed. When looking at pics of ruins in Italy and some of the other countries that think that their ruins are fine, I fondly remember the ruins in Libya and the lack of damage and just the wealth of items preserved even thirty years ago just boggles the mind. I do plan a trip to Libya as the tourism industry seems to be beginning. All who want to see really well preserved as well as a very large number of Arabic and Roman cities of the past should absolutely visit Libya! bob langston Reply to this
