Libya has been closed to most travelers for over a decade, and it shows: Leptis Magna and Sabratha, two of the best preserved Roman cities in the Mediterranean, sit completely empty. This trip takes you from those coastal ruins into the Sahara, through the fortified granary of Gasr Al-Haj and the mudbrick alleyways of Ghadames, a UNESCO oasis town on the edge of the desert. Seven days through a country almost nobody gets to see.
