Glory of Cyrene

LIBYA

A country in the Maghreb region of North Africa is the fourth largest country in Africa and 17th in the world. Libya is the home of several impressive archaeological and cultural sites that are truly unique and unparalleled in the whole world. The hardly known valleys of the Libyan Sahara are the home of an array of dazzling, sophisticated, artistic and stylish prehistoric civilisations the world has never seen before. Five of these sites have been added to the World Heritage List namely, Tadrart Acacus (Akakous), Cyrene, Leptis Magna, Sabratha, and the ancient Berber oasis of Ghadames.

Benghazi

Founded by Greeks in the 7th century as the colony of Hesperides and later renamed Berenice after the wife of Ptolemy III of Egypt, Benghazi lies on the northeast coast of Libya in Cyrenaica. Romans, Vandals, Arabs, Ottoman Turks and Italians conquered Benghazi, before Libya gained full independence in 1951. Benghazi was co-capital with Tripoli until 1969.
