Leptis Magna: “As Libya’s war keeps visitors away, the Roman Empire’s magnificent capital in Africa lies forgotten” “We haven’t had any tourists since the fall of Muammar Gaddafi in 2011,” said Osama Krema, a Libyan tour guide working at the site. “Occasionally aid workers staying in the country come to visit. They factor in only half an hour initially… But then when they enter the site they cannot believe what they are seeing. They cancel their work meetings and stay the rest of the day. Nobody knows the wonder of this place.”telegraph/jasonaroundtheworld/Norman Krauß/Styve Reineck -- source link
