Libya - an often overlooked holiday destination
What many don’t know is that Libya is, in fact, officially known as Great Socialist People’s Libyan Arab Jamahiriya, but for obvious reasons people tend to refer to it by its shorter moniker.
Another thing which is usually overlooked (at least among people to the north of the desert country) is that Libya makes for a fantastic holiday destination. It is one of the richer countries on the continent, so images of devastating poverty tourists usually associate with Africa usually don’t apply to Libya, and the government is investing heavily into its tourism infrastructure to try and entice more travellers.
Despite the slightly fraught international relations of recent, the benefits on offer in Libya are very apparent with only a little research. Its history dates back millennia, and some of the architecture and culture you’ll find there is nothing short of mind-blowing. And when you’re done checking out the man-made structures, it’s highly advised to take a trip into the Libyan desert (which covers 90% of the country) and experience possibly the closest thing to standing on a different planet.
Travelling to the country with young children however may be slightly tricky, but not altogether unadvised. The street infrastructure isn’t massively suitable for getting a pram around and the heat can be unbearable at times - make sure you take proper precautions if your family is not acclimatised to this. Essentially though, so long as you do your research beforehand into the facilities on offer you should be as right as rain (pardon the pun) and there are many hotels springing up which cater towards young families.
