From world-class Roman ruins to mystical caravan cities built in staggering, massive deserts, Libya is a real off-the-beaten-track country filled with wonderful sites which have been barely explored by travelers.
In 2011, however, a series of peaceful protests against dictator Gaddafi escalated into a civil war that has been going on ever since, isolating the country even more from the rest of the world.
Today, nevertheless, the situation in some parts of Libya is improving, a peace agreement has been signed between the parties involved and it looks like travelers are beginning to be welcomed again.

These are the hotels where we always stay but note that once in a while, they might be subject to availability.
The price of the tour includes accommodation in a twin room.
If you are a solo traveler, you will share the room with another like-minded traveler from the group. We always try to group people of same gender and age but note that this won’t always be the case.
If you want a single room, you will have to pay an additional €150.
Today, it’s possible to apply for an e-visa, you don’t need to visit the embassy.
However, the e-visa portal is full of bugs, and doesn’t work properly. It always presents a lot of difficulties so, since we don’t want to miss any deadlines, we’ll apply for you.
The cost of this service is 45 USD on top of the visa fees, which cost 63 USD.
