Ain Mizrag: discover the beauty and mystery of Libya

Discover Libya: One of the world's incredible undiscovered travel destinations

From the magnificent Roman and Greek ruins of Leptis Magna, Sabratha, Cyrene and Appolonia, to the awe-inspiring Sahara desert; from beautiful Mediterranean beaches to the historic medinas of Tripoli, Ghadames and Ghat, Libya will amaze and enchant you.

In 2006, thousands of tourists from every corner of the world discovered Libya when they came here to witness a spectacular total solar eclipse in the Sahara. Most of them soon began to appreciate the beauty of our country, and the warmth and openness of our people.

Libya is now opening its doors to the world, and the world is discovering the wonders of Libya. We can help you discover Libya.

Let Ain Mizrag be your guide to the beauty and mystery of Libya.

Discover Tripoli
		Visit a city that's 2,500 years old. Wander amidst the winding streets and whitewashed walls of the ancient medina. Admire some of the greatest treasures of the Mediterranean in the National Museum. Discover shops, restaurants, and the heart of modern Libya...
Discover Ancient Rome and Greece in North Africa
		Discover why Leptis Magna is considered by many to be among the most magnificent Roman sites anywhere in the world. Buried (and preserved) for centuries under the desert sands, this may now be the best place to understand what the glory of a wealthy Roman city was really like. Sabratha, the other great Roman gem, will overwhelm you with the grandeur of one of the largest and most impressive Roman theatres in the world. Equally breathtaking, Cyrene, in eastern Libya, can still bring alive the glories of the Greeks' first overseas settlement. Leptis Magna, Sabratha and Cyrene are all UNESCO World Heritage sites.
Discover the Sahara
		More than 90% of the country is desert. To truly know Libya, you should experience the breathtaking grandeur of the Sahara. Those who have taken our 4x4 camping tours of the Fezzan (south-west Libya) have told us it was among the most memorable and moving travel experiences of their lives. You'll travel through, and camp among the soaring dunes of the giant Ubari and Murzuq Sand Seas and explore the awesome Acacus mountains. Marvel at the exquisite rock art (recognised as a UNESCO world heritage site) spread throughout the region, some of it dating back 12,000 years, depicting the area before it became a desert, still alive with crocodiles, giraffes and other wildlife. Cool off with a swim in the salt-water Ubari Lakes. For a completely different Saharan experience, we also offer trips to Waw an Namus: a dormant volcano located in remote eastern Fezzan, placing it close to the centre of the Sahara itself. It's a remarkable, beautiful, and quite remote site. On the way, you will pass through the Black Mountains -- a forbidding expanse of basalt and granite -- Libya's "Monument Valley", a Petrified Forest, and other beautiful and rarely-visited natural sites.
Discover Ghadames
		Known as "The Pearl of the Sahara", and another UNESCO World Heritage site, this is one of the most remarkable surviving ancient cities of the Sahara. While the city of Ghadames is still thriving, the ancient town is now mostly deserted, and you can explore its labyrinthine, covered whitewashed streets and imagine the time when it was once one of the major trading centres of the northern Sahara.
Discover the Libyan People
		Invariably, one of the strongest memories visitors take away from Libya is that of the warmth, friendliness and generosity of the Libyans they meet. The people of Libya are truly our greatest natural resource. Come and make some new friends!
