A MUST VISIT VILLA

This destination is actually just what the name indicates; a villa. But being of 20 rooms, adorned like no other building from ancient times in North Africa, this is a must-see for a Libya tour.
The villa belongs to Byzantine times, and was as a leisure home for one of Leptis Magna's wealthiest families.
Every floor has its own unique mosaics. Many show human figures, which are bordered by intricate patterns. Most walls have frescoes of humans and pastoral scenes. Walls of the baths are in marble.
The experience continues out into the garden, which faces the sea. Even here, there are beautiful mosaics.
The villa is still undergoing restoration, but we can arrange a permit for you to visit from Leptis Magna.
