costs

The costs of the programs are on request and will change according to the number of participants for each program.
 
The flights from Tripoli to Sebha or from Sebha to Tripoli are at the moment very unreliable, we suggest covering the distance by car or minibus although the distance requires a whole day of travelling.

To camp in the desert, participants must bring their own gear. The camping site in Ghat and Germa are very essential but at least there are showers. In Ghadames most of the accommodation is in private houses, very well equipped. There are also small hotels and a very beautiful 4 star hotel.

Generally road conditions in Libya are good and the majority of roads are sealed and in a reasonable condition. Please be aware that our desert tours involve a considerable amount of off road driving which can sometimes be uncomfortable, dusty and strenuous. The distance covered in some of our tours is also quite considerable. Off-road driving will be in 4 x 4 Toyota Landcruisers.
