Libya Holidays

We will make your Libya holiday experience exclusive and unforgettable.  From the moment you first step foot on Libyan soil, our airport representative will be on hand to ensure your arrival visa is processed quickly and efficiently.

Our expert knowledge and insider access will ensure your Libyan holiday delves deeper into the Libyan way of life, not normally experienced by the average tourist. 

At the heart of all our Libyan holidays is a unique experience of local culture.  If you are interested in Libyan cuisine, we can organise cooking lessons in a Libyan home followed by dinner with the family. A visit to the local bazaar is a great experience, but you can also learn how to make the handicrafts yourself with wood and copper.

All of our excursions can be enhanced to suit your individual requirements and to ensure you can make the most of your Libyan holiday.  We can organise refreshments served by a waiter and a musical performance at Leptis Magna or a sightseeing tour of Tripoli from the comfort of a horse-drawn calesh.  For the ultimate in exclusivity, try a private dinner at the magnificent House of Al Karamanli, one of the most beautiful houses in the heart of Tripoli.

Our Libyan team are experts in their field and will take great pride in showing you the hidden treasures of this fascinating country, to create an unforgettable Libyan holiday.

Pricing
At A&K all of our journeys are individually tailored to suit your needs and timescale. However, as a guide, a 7 night journey in Libya can be arranged from £2,898 per person including flights from the UK and subject to availability.
