No one can imagine the vastness of the desert or the incredible height of the sand dunec without visiting Libya.It's important to check the pressure of your vehicle's tyres.Safety is the first thing that any tourist or traveller in the desert must keep in mind.

There are two ways to get here. 1)A plane. I would like to visit Libya again, so I checked resent possibilities. The best connection from Europe offers KLM. 2) Take a taxi or minibus from Tunisia. It's well known way. We had our cars, so it was easy to go around.

by JohnMG

Use a good airline and have a fully flexible ticket. Alternatively use the national airline, but expect changes in their schedule at short notice. Always contact in person/visit the local office of your carrier 24-48hrs before you leave the country and establist a good relationship.Dont drive yourself; get a local driver - ask at hotel. Or fly if its a long journey - their driving habits are rather different and can be alarmin to europeans. By bus is also possible, although slow.

by sphynxxs

It´s probably best to take a minibus from djerba/Tunisia. Since direct air-connections to Libya are starting very slowly after the Lockerby-embargo, you´ll often find out that your only way into the country is across the border to Egypt or Tunisia
