Following an early breakfast, we will leave Tripoli and travel towards Ghadames, 600 km southwest of Tripoli.
On the way, a stop and visit the Gasr Al-Hājj site, a Berber antiquities site.
Gasr Al-Hājj is a huge fortified granary of circular shape built in the 7th century. It was built to serve as granary for families from the surrounding area in return for quarter of their crops, which, it is said, the owner had endowed as a waqf for teaching Qur’an and Islamic related subjects to the people of the area. The building originally comprised 114 chambers, which could be the number of the subscribing families during the time of construction.
Next stop is a Berber city Kabaw. Kabaw is home to the ghurfas or “Ksar Kabaw” a Berber hilltop village-fort, now abandoned. The Ghurfas is built mainly of rock, gypsum and adobe, with doors made of palm wood. After World War II, it was occupied by the French military and governed from Tunisia. It was returned to Libyan control in 1951.

Following lunch, we head towards Sabratha, 70 km west of Tripoli, to visit the archaeological site of Sabratha.
Sabratha in the Zawiya District of Libya, was the westernmost of the ancient “three cities” of Roman Tripolis, alongside Oea and Leptis Magna. From 2001 to 2007 it was the capital of the former Sabratha wa Sorman District. It lies on the Mediterranean coast about 70 km west of modern Tripoli. The extant archaeological site was inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1982.
Return to Tripoli.
Dinner and overnight at the hotel.
After breakfast we leave Tripoli again and head to Leptis Magna.
Leptis or Lepcis Magna, was a prominent city of the Carthaginian Empire and Roman Libya at the mouth of the Wadi Lebda in the Mediterranean.
Established as a Punic settlement prior to 500 BC, the city experienced significant expansion under Roman Emperor Septimius Severus (r. 193–211), who was born in the city. The 3rd Augustan Legion was stationed here to defend the city against Berber incursions. After the legion’s dissolution under Gordian III in 238, the city was increasingly open to raids in the later part of the 3rd century. Diocletian reinstated the city as provincial capital, and it grew again in prosperity until it fell to the Vandals in 439. It was reincorporated into the Eastern Empire in 533 but continued to be plagued by Berber raids and never recovered its former importance.
It fell to the Muslim invasion in c. 647 and was subsequently abandoned.
After being abandoned, the city was remarkably preserved as it lay buried beneath layers of sand dunes. In the 1920s, the city was unearthed by Italian archaeologists during Italy’s occupation of Libya. Its ruins are within present-day Khoms, Libya, 130 km east of Tripoli.
They are among the best-preserved Roman sites in the Mediterranean.
Return to Tripoli.
