About Libya

Image of Libya

For centuries Libya has been on the crossroads of the world’s greatest civilisations. Consequently Libyan culture is rich and varied in influence and style. The relatively new tourism sector means Libya has exciting and vibrant opportunities for travellers seeking to explore this fascinating land.

Libya has remained a relatively stable country within the Middle East. Simoon continuously monitors the political situation in Libya and has found that in recent years great improvements have been made to ensure the safety of tourists. All too often only negative stories receive media coverage and can unfairly taint a country’s reputation. Simoon Travel puts the safety of its clients as a first priority and would not offer tours that in any way endanger our clients or staff.

Simoon Travel, the leading UK independent Libya tour operator since 2004, offers a wide range of itineraries. For those with an interest in Classics, a tour of the Roman ruins and monuments that dot the beautiful coastline is a must. For those keen to explore the desert and the stunning scenery of the interior, the Land of the Tuareg tour would be more apt. Perhaps combine both with The Taste of Libya tour, or time your trip for one of the many desert festivals and see the vibrant culture of Libya first hand.
