Agedabya
Visiting Libya promises to be an adventure like no other as this North African country offers spectacular natural pleasures such as majestic mountains and scintillating Mediterranean beaches, as well as archaeological sites that are of historical importance to explore and enjoy. Libya is a country of many contrasts and dynamics; with an eclectic blend of African, Arabic and Western influences particularly evident in its cosmopolitan capital of Tripoli, visitors to this wonderful country are set to experience a sojourn that they won’t soon forget about.
While many of Libya’s cities are worth a visit, the area of Agedabya (or Ajdabiya) is renowned because of its lovely scenery and beautiful coastline. Situated in the eastern part of the country and 18km inland from the Gulf of Sirt, Agedabya has an abundant resource of fresh water and has subsequently been considered an important locality since the times of the Roman occupation of Libya. Two of the ruins that visitors can explore are a fortress and mosque that originate from the Fatimid dynasty of the 10th century; both these landmarks have been excavated in the 1950s and then again in the 1970s.
The city’s railway transportation system is currently being revamped and upgraded to connect the interstate line between Tobruk and Benghazi to avoid any unpleasant traveling over difficult coastal terrain. For those looking to find refuge away from the busier centres in the country, retreating to the charming seaside resort town of Agedabya promises to help you revitalize and re-energise tired bodies and minds.
