Classic Libya tour......
Libya holidays & tours main menu - 0845 003 2211 or 01543 258631

Leptis Magna

8 Days / 7 Nights from £1,575
Escorted Group or Independent Tour
Highlights: • Hellenistic Cyrene & Apollonia • Roman Sabratha & Leptis Magna

Summary...
Trade through Libya’s ports funded grand civic buildings, theatres and ornate villas that were the envy of the ancient world. This tour visits the magnificent remains of these ancient cities and combines the superbly preserved Roman cities in the west 
with the impressive Hellenistic remains of Cyrenaica in the east.

Itinerary...
Day 1 To Tripoli: Fly from London to Tripoli with British Airways. Transfer to the Corinthia Bab Africa Hotel for 1 night. (N)

Day 2 Tripoli: Full day exploration of Tripoli, including the medina and the Arch of Marcus Aurelius. Late evening flight to Benghazi, and stay at the Tibesti Hotel for 1 night. (B, D)

Day 3 To Apollonia: Morning drive to the Hellenistic cities of Ptolemais and Teucheira, both subsequently built over by the Romans. Continue to Apollonia, the ancient port that grew up to serve the city of Cyrene. Stay 2 nights at the Manara Hotel. (B, L, D)

Day 4 Cyrene: In the Hellenistic period, Cyrene was the second most important city in North Africa due to the trade in silphium. The extensive remains include the nearly intact Agora and the Temple of Zeus, larger than the Parthenon. Full day to explore the site. Late afternoon tour of Apollonia. (B, L, D)

Day 5 To Benghazi: Morning visit to Qasr Libya, a Byzantine basilica with beautiful 6th century mosaic floors. Return to Benghazi and, time permitting, visit the Commonwealth 
War Cemetery. Stay overnight at the Tibesti Hotel. (B, L, D)

Day 6 To Tripoli, Sabratha & Janzur: Morning flight to Tripoli. On arrival drive to Janzur, to visit the small museum and tombs, and the Roman city of Sabratha, best known for its wonderfully-preserved theatre. Stay at the Corinthia Bab Africa Hotel for 2 nights. (B, L)

Day 7 Leptis Magna: Full day visit to Leptis Magna, one of the world’s finest and most complete examples of a Roman city. Monuments seen today include the Arch of Septimus Severus, the Baths of Hadrian, the Old Forum and the theatre. (B)

Day 8 To London: This morning there will be a tour of the Tripoli Museum, home to a superb collection of classical sculptures and mosaics. Afternoon transfer to the airport and fly from Tripoli to London with British Airways. (B)

Discovery Tour: Libya is a developing country in terms of tourism, and an adventurous and flexible attitude is required to enjoy travelling in the country. Our supplier uses the best available accommodation in Libya. However, outside Tripoli the standard should be considered basic. The tour involves walking over rough terrain and internal flights in Libya can be prone to delays, which are beyond our control. We do feel, however, that the wonders of Libya more than make up for any occasional deficiencies. Please see page 8 for an explanation about Discovery Tours. 

Independent Tour: In addition to the Escorted Group departures, this itinerary may be taken at any time as an Independent Tour, subject to availability. The prices for this option are shown on the price table.
