The journey
Discover three days built around two of the greatest Roman cities in Africa and the historic heart of Tripoli. Visit Sabratha, where a seaside theatre, temples, and mosaics recall its past as a Phoenician-Roman trading port, and spend a full day among the marble colonnades, basilica, amphitheatre, and ancient harbour of Leptis Magna. In Tripoli, explore the walled Old City, its lively souks, Ottoman mosques and arcades, and the Red Castle Museum. With organised logistics, airport transfers, and a licensed English-speaking guide throughout, this is a tightly planned journey into a country few travellers get to see.
At a glance
Day by day
Meet on arrival at Tripoli's Mitiga International Airport, then drive west along the coast to Sabratha. This UNESCO World Heritage Site flourished in the 2nd and 3rd centuries AD as a Phoenician-Roman trading port between Africa and the Mediterranean, and is known for its seaside theatre, temples, and mosaics. Return to Tripoli for an overnight stay in a 4-star hotel.
Travel east to Leptis Magna, founded by the Phoenicians and expanded by the Libyan-born Emperor Septimius Severus into one of the most spectacular Roman cities ever built. Walk through the Arch of Severus, the basilica, the amphitheatre, the ancient harbour, and the marble forum. Return to Tripoli for an overnight stay.
Explore Tripoli's Old City, including its lively souks, the Red Castle Museum, and the Ottoman-era arcades and mosques. If time allows, enjoy a coffee by the Mediterranean before your transfer to Mitiga Airport for your onward flight.
