Trekking Libya-15 Days

Mesak Settafet is a massive sandstone escarpment in southwest Libya.It sits at an elevation of up to 300 metres (980 ft).The outcropping is abundant in prehistoric rock art and stone tools, particularly at the Wadi Mathendous site.

While most visitors to Libya are drawn to its well-preserved Roman and Greek cities and magnificent architectural masterpieces that are found all over the country, another top-rated activity is to visit the Saharan region of the Libyan Desert. The Saharan Desert is an incredible and spectacular natural spectacle and the perfect way to explore its scintillating sand dunes and tranquil oases is by taking a caravan route through the area. Usually the excursion begins by following a caravan route through to the oasis town of Ghadames, which has been declared a UNESCO protection zone due to its historically significant ruins and artifacts. After leaving Ghadames, the tour makes its way into the Hamada Al-Hamra, or the Red Desert as it is also known, before descending on arguably the most scenic spot of the entire tour – the Tassili n’Azjjar. The Tassili n’Azjjar is an extravagant and intricate labyrinth of sandstone dunes, towers, and canyons, which makes for many incredible photo opportunities; this area is breathtaking and awe-inspiring, often leaving travellers speechless and mesmerised.

The Tassili n’Azjjar is also home to a comprehensive collection of precious rock art, which depicts the changing of life across the millennia as well as different types of wildlife, and then the gradual desertification of this region. This riveting journey culminates at the Ubari Lakes, where visitors can cool off and swim in one of the pristine lakes.
