| Summary: | "A comprehensive and practical guide to the many extraordinary sights of Libya. From the best preserved towns of the whole Roman empire, to ancient Arab souks and medinas, and the magnificent desert landscapes, oases and prehistoric rock paintings of the south, Libya is one of the most dramatic and least known countries of the Mediterranean. Proud, warm and welcoming, Libyans are perhaps the most engaging hosts in the Middle East. Libya has been so little visited by Westerners over the last decades that it remains an unspoilt and fabulously welcoming country. As a result, however, finding one's way around is not as easy as in more familiar destinations. Wendy Gower has lived and worked in Libya for almost nine years, and has explored the whole country thoroughly. She brings a wealth of experience - and undimmed enthusiasm - to her guidebook, and the traveller will find her a stimulating and reliable companion."--Page [4] of cover. |
