Time to visit Libya?

Middle East/N.Africa — By Bob Riel on April 29, 2009 at 4:10 pm

Every wanted to visit the North African nation of Libya? One author makes the case that now is a great time to be a traveler in Libya. Reasons include:

The Sheer Number of Sights- Libya is home to the ruins of the prominent Roman city of Leptis Magna. The ruins are a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the best preserved Roman cities. Libya is home to 5 World Heritage Sites and one of the 100 most endangered World Monument Fund sites, Wadi Mathendous.

Coastline - Libya has over 2,000 kilometers of cheap Mediterranean coastline. A numer of resorts have been popping up along this temperate region which is cheaper than comparable Spanish or Italian beaches.

It’s Unique - Thirsting to be ‘the first’ or one of the few travelers to a destination? Libya is just opening up into a tourist spot and I feel it will go the way of once cheap Morocco. Book a trip to Libya before you regret losing that cheap destination.
