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. Group tour dates and prices...
