Libya Travel and Tours

Welcome to the Magic Carpet Travel website, one of the best places to start planning your trip to Libya. Still well off the beaten track, Libya is a hugely rewarding destination for travellers looking for unspoilt scenery, ancient and modern history, space, peace and adventure. Roman cities compete with fortified Berber villages and 10,000 year-old rock art for your attention, whilst a stay in a tented camp in the desert is an absolute must. The Libyan people are incredibly friendly yet, unlike some other destinations, tourism is not the country's main source of income, so visitors are treated with curiousity and respect, rather than being exploited for all they are worth.

Group Tours

At Magic Carpet Travel we run fully escorted Libya tours and trips for those wishing to travel as part of a small group with a tour guide. Whether you have two weeks or just a few days, our varied itineraries will help you make the most of your time in Libya. For full details of our set tours including dates and prices see Libya travel itineraries.

Individual Travel

We also tailor-make Libya trips for those who do not wish to travel as part of a tour group. We can put together any programme you like - either a tour similar to one of our existing itineraries, or one to accommodate a special interest that you want to explore in Libya. For ideas and details of tailor-made trips that we have arranged in the past see our tailor made trips to Libya.

We arrange visas for all our travellers to Libya. For UK and EU citizens we will arrange for your visa to be issued on arrival in Tripoli. There is no need to visit the Libyan Embassy. People from all nationalities are welcome to visit Libya with the exception of Lebanese and Israeli nationals and those with Israeli stamps in their passports.
