Known as the pearl of the desert, a Unesco World Heritage Site, the ancient city of Ghadames was an important stopping off point on the trans-Saharan caravan route.

An ideal location between Timbuktu and the Mediterranean coastal cities of Libya, Ghadames grew into a large town. Our local guide will show you the hidden delights of Old Ghadames; with its covered walk ways, mud brick buildings, palm-trunk doors and its fascinating museum.

The evening can be enjoyed watching the sun set atop one of the huge sand dunes, accessed by 4 wheel drive vehicle.
