 Libya is a total surprise. Known more for its infamy – think Colonel Gadaffi, once described by former US President Ronald Reagan as “the most dangerous man in the world”, and the Lockerbie air disaster, which later showed that those responsible held Libyan passports, and you’d wonder why anyone would want to visit.
Although it is one of the oldest countries along the Mediterranean, Libya has a youthful vibrancy that oozes optimism and confidence. The locals enjoy an unhurried lifestyle, bask in an idyllic Mediterranean climate with sun-filled days nearly all year round, and boast the best-preserved Roman ruins in the whole Mediterranean region. And visitors are made to feel very welcome, and very safe.
