After a light lunch we head for Leptis Magna - one of the most spectacular Roman sites along the Mediterranean coast. Let your guide explain how the Romans lived in this part of their empire and what their favorite pastimes were.

Villa Sileen (12 km east of Leptis Magna)

We return to Tripoli via the Villa Sileen. The Villa Sileen is considered a highlight of Libya’s coast. It is a Byzantine villa whose inhabitants spared no expense in its construction. It is a magnificent example of the opulence and wealth that the Roman’s enjoyed. The mosaics are highly detailed and intricately designed and executed. The outcome is a stunning display of an artist mastery. Later in the early evening we return to Tripoli. Dinner in a local restaurant and overnight at your hotel.

The exterior of Villa Sileen

The villa of Sileen lies immediately to the sea. It is fascinating to see how much people 2 millennia earlier appreciated the same values and experiences as people today.

Today you may go back to the old town on your own to do some shopping for souvenirs – your hotel is just five minutes away -or just wander around to get enticed by the confusing array of streets and alleyways in the medina.
