Tripoli Vacation Travel Video Guide

Travel video about destination Tripoli in Libya.
Tripoli is the capital of the desert state of Libya. The old town is known as the Medina and with its narrow lanes and squat buildings it is a combination of Arabian, North African and Mediterranean cultures. The joie de vivre of the local people is obvious and music and dance are part of their daily life. In antiquity the city was called Oea that was one of the three cities of Tripolitania and in Roman times this section of the coast contained the trading towns of Leptis Magna and Sabratha. Since 1963 Tripoli has been the capital of the Great Socialist Libyan-Arab People’s Republic. The old town contains a souk that was almost fully abandoned following the Great Revolution as private trading was then forbidden but when the law was abolished in 1988 it once again sprang to life. Modern Tripoli is undergoing constant development. Contemporary architecture is everywhere with skyscrapers that contain offices and apartments that have been built on the periphery of the city. Around seventy kilometres west of Tripoli and also located on the Mediterranean coast are the remains of the ancient trading town of Sabratha. Its Theatre has been rebuilt and is still an impressive structure that dates back to the second century A.D. Tripoli, along with the historic towns of the former Tripolitania, is one of the most spectacular places of ancient culture in North Africa and the heritage of an advanced civilisation located on the edge of the Sahara.

I feel so bad for Libya and the countless Libyans whose lives have been lost in this conflict. I hope the country returns to its former glory.

I was stationed on the outskirts of Tripoli at the Wheelus Air Force Base in 1965 and 1966.The Air Force Base and it's runways are now the International Airport. We had many Libyans working at the Base and I got to know them and their families well. I very much enjoyed my stay there visiting the city and the impressive Roman ruins of Sabratha and Leptis Magna. I got out of the Air Force in late 1966 and always wanted to go back to visit but the war in 1967 changed the condition of the area and it got worse when Ghadaffi took over from King Idris. Like others stating here, I hope the country can overcome it's political and warlike hardships and once again welcome people from other countries (safely) to see the amazing sites.

Went to Libya in 2006. One of the most beautiful countries I have ever seen and I have visited over 50 countries and lived in about half a dozen. Definitely, worth a visit but I am not too sure about security these days, I hope not too much has been destroyed.

Sabratha is a on the coast therefore could not have been covered with the desert and, half of the city was covered with sea water and not
