I´ve visited many roman cities and the only place I can compare Leptis Magna with is Pompei. But Leptis impressed me even more. It was a big city at its time and you can still feel it. Two beautiful temples, the forum, the baths, the port. You could never imagine such an impressive town existed there. It was an important... More

We booked transport, guided tour, and meals through Libya Travel and Tours http://www.libyatravelandtours.com They... More

Its a UNESCO world heritage site. Its 1 of the nicest ruin site in the area. Be amazed, although the entrance is somewhat unappealing. More

If you want to do some research ahead, there's plenty to be found on the internet, including a little map on Wikipedia. Also, there's a book called "La Libye antique" (ISBN 3-8290-3455-5) with some excellent pictures. It has been translated in several languages. I went to Leptis Magna with a colleague and we took a cab from Tripoli. After buying... More
