About Libya:

as every thing in life has components, tourism today has it's own components and beauty is the first letter in its alphabets but where is the greatest hood of beauty if not in mother nature with its charm and magic.
it is a chain that it pellets waters, air , bird and blue sea and sky, green palms and oasis's , the greatness of desert silence and what if you find that every pellet if this chain decorated here with traditional dance and desert wild flower. There are sings represent the deepest meanings of time and life. A chain decorated with crowns of the golden wary sands which is forever decorated with sunrays of life and cover of the silver moon. Who does not want to return to childhood innocence and who does not want to have a sit, a nap or meditate in a shadow of a palm tree there in the heart of the comprehensive universal silence and quietness and who does not want to recall the adventures of the early youth.

Who does not wish the hugs of the waves of the sea and rays of the sun there where the sands are of gold and water is pure and air is life.
If those are components of tourism, this is the pretty Jamahiriya with is your reach is calling to welcome you as guest visitor, tourist research and scholar for the history of world civilizations.
