This is a fantastic place I visited some 30 years ago, but given the amount of tourists in this area it most likely hasn't changed much since then. For it hasn't for the last 2000 years. After a visit to Leptis Magna, one does not get much impressed by Colosseum or Acropolis: these much reduced European sites are dwarfed by... More

Wow as adventures go this was a big one. I visited Libya as my brother worked out there. I found the people lovely and Leptis being the highlight. As you would expect it was very quiet and being able to touch, see and smell the artefacts was wonderful. We got to shout from the amphitheatre and walk in and around... More

I went to Leptis Magna with my friends November 2011 as one local friend highly recommended it, we didn't have an idea that our eyes are in for a rare treat of looking right through history 2000 years back. I have been to Cyrene too, and it is packed with history too but Leptis Magna is something that can compare... More

Visited on a day trip from Tripoli. Declined the offer of a guide and instead used a travel book. I have a keen interest in Roman history and this site was simply fantastic, easily exceeding my expectations. It was, understandably, rather quiet, so we were able to roam as we pleased and take our time at each of the different... More

The experience to me was incredible. It was my first time to see and experience ruins from the era of the Roman Empire. They say that is the best-preserved ruin of the era, and is still standing to this day. Going to the site (about 120 km from Tripoli). I went on a Friday, which is a holiday in Libya,... More

I visited this site about 7 years ago (2005). It is one of those very rare opportunities to see a fantastic historical site before it becomes polluted with commercialism. (The visitor numbers are tiny). It is a big site and if you have any interest or empathy with history then this site is a "must see".

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

After trying to get to Libya for many years, I finally got my chance to see Leptis Magna, and I was not disappointed. The site contains an amazing collection of partially restored structures which display the greatness and splendor this city once had. See this place. We booked transport, guided tour, and meals through Libya Travel and Tours http://www.libyatravelandtours.com They... More
