Tripoli

Libya’s capital is a fascinating and surprising one. It possesses a beauty that perhaps in part is owed to its coastal location, and visitors are usually given a warm welcome. The old town remains unspoilt by the arrival of tourists, and the Jamahiriya Museum is an exceptional one, with many of Libya’s treasures therein. This, coupled with its proximity to sites such as Leptis and Sabratha, Tripoli is an essential stop on the trail through Libya.
