Sabratha
Sabratha is a UNESCO World Heritage site on Libya's Mediterranean coast, featuring one of the best-preserved Roman theaters in North Africa. The ruins were rebuilt during the 2nd and 3rd centuries CE and reached their monumental peak under the Severan dynasty.
Atlas entry
Tripoli
Tripoli offers a rare opportunity to explore a Mediterranean capital where Ottoman-era medinas, Italian colonial architecture, and Roman ruins coexist within a single city. The Red Castle Museum (Assaraya Alhamra) houses treasures from World Heritage sites at Leptis Magna and Sabratha, while the old city walls and triple-gated medina reflect Roman urban planning still visible today.
