"To wake up every morning in various point of the immense desert… To exit from a tent and behold the splendour of a new day: to distend arms, to iron oneself  in the cold and pure air, to be filled with light and space, to know, upon awakening, the extraordinary inebriation of breath alone, of just living...

Pierre Loti

 

"A journey through the desert is unforgettable experience.
For expert travellers as well as those who are no longer astonished and in search of a new atmosphere.

The desert of Libya is one of the last stunning places of the world. It is the setting where just living is enough to experience intense joy. The desert lifestyle experienced in Libya is indeed unique. It is still an uncontaminated world, where the traces of transiting tourism are quickly erased with the moving sands.

The climate is without doubt, hard, dry and essential,  while it also knows how to be a wrapping sweetness, that can even melt the most hurt of hearts.

The landscapes in the desert of Libya alternate with an impressive speed and one passes from a syrupy Mediterranean territory to the heart of the Sahara. The "erg" of sand are a mesmerizing vision in their facets of colours and the black cliffs of the Akakus are a source of incredible energy.

And then the people... simple and jovial, with a smile  that beams straight to the heart.

One the marvellous discoveries that Libya has to offer, is Tuareg music, a perfect accompaniment for a journey into the profound and wonderful."
