Travel out of Tripoli along the west coast to explore the well-preserved Roman city of Sabrata, a UNESCO World Heritage site.
Itinerary
Day 1
Sabrata city was a permanent settlement from the 4th century B.C.
And grew during the Roman period, Like Leptis Magna, Sabrata began as settlement to service the coastal trade of the Carthaginians, It was developed as a permanent site to act as a terminal for the trans-Saharan trade since it had a natural harbor.
The site was later to become one of the 3 cities with Leptis & Oea (Tripoli).
The most prominent features are the Roman public arenas, the Temples of Liber Pater - Sirapis, Isis, and Hercules : the forum, and the public paths. Ruins of the earliest Phoenician settlements have been found beneath the Roman town in the area between the forum and the sea two mausoleums; one of wich was completely restored.
The main is the Theatre, used in modern times as a theatre and concert hall. There are a variety of public baths, temples and fountains, with many first class mosaics both on site and in the adjacent Museum.

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.
