Founded on close contact with the ancient civilisations of Greece, Carthage and Egypt, they combined to create a unique culture. Leptis Magna is the jewel in the crown - we spend a full day exploring its baths, temples, forum and basilica. To the west, the well-preserved city of Sabratha is another impressive relic of a bygone era. The old mud brick town of Nalut is as scenic as the fabulous oasis town of Ghadames, with its dusty, winding streets and unique desert architecture. This adventure is a true immersion in the romance of the North African desert.Trip InfoDeparture DatesGroup size: Maximum 15.
