About
Tripoli |
 |
|
Tripoli, or
Tarabalus Al-Gharb (Tripoli of the West in Arabic), is the capital, largest
city, principal harbor and biggest commercial and manufacturing centre of Libya.
Tripoli is located in the north-west of Libya and is situated on the
Mediterranean Sea. The city has a population of about 1.68 million people. The
old walled city of Tripoli, the Medina, is one of the classical sites of the
Mediterranean. The basic street plan of the
city was laid down in the Roman period. For
the Greeks and Phoenicians, Tripoli made an
ideal trading post, having an excellent
natural harbor. In antiquity, this arid
region of western Libya, which the Romans
called Tripolitania (“land of three
cities”), was comprised of the cities of
Leptis Magna, Sabratha, and Oea (now lost
under modern Tripoli. Modern Tripoli include
lots of very interesting historical sites
and museums to visit. In addition, the city
includes beautiful landscape and wonderful
beaches within driving distance.
Libya, a young country dense with
history, full of natural wonders and
historical sites, a well-traveled bridge
between sea and desert, east and west.
Situated south of the Mediterranean, it
continues to be a bridge between ancient and
new civilizations and an open-air museum in
almost all its entirety. You can find traces
of several ancient civilizations. All of
them passed through Libya leaving their
Finger Prints such as Statues, Temples,
Theatres, Bathes, Markets, Mosaics,
Painting, Rock art, and Cemeteries.
Phoenicians, Greeks, Romans, and Spaniards,
The Knights of St. john of Malta, Turkish,
and Italians.
Libya boasts five UNESCO World Heritage
Sites: Cyrene, Leptis Magna, Sabratha, the
old town of Ghadames, and the rock art sites
of Tadrart Akakus in the southern desert.
Modern Libya is also a fascinating place to
experience; its towns and villages, mosques
and market places, which reflect an
appealing mix of Arab and Berber culture.
However, one of the greatest assets of Libya
is certainly the variety of its landscape
and its climate. The beautiful oasis of the
Great Sahara, the Green Mountains (Jebel al-Akhdar),
the Wonderful beaches are just few examples.
