Travel from Egypt to Libya??
Hey, everyone.
I'm thinking about a trip from Egypt to Libya next spring ('05). I'm an American, so I know the visa part is a bit of a problem but, assuming I can get one, what's the best way to travel? Is it difficult to get across the border? Is it easy enough to travel backpacker-style or is it best to sign up with a tour agency (any recommendations?) Lots of questions but seems like a pretty exciting trip. Thanks, Barr |

You can cross from Egypt into Libya only at the Salloum border post.
See the Libya FAQ for details about the visa: http://www.triotours.com/faq/ly/index.htm "Barr Seitz" wrote in message om... Hey, everyone.

As for traveling through Libya "backpacker-style", all tourists are required
to travel with a state-appointed guide and you must submit your planned itinerary with your visa application. Once inside, though, it's pretty easy to convince your guide to change the plan. You pay his wages, after all. "Barr Seitz" wrote in message om... Hey, everyone. I'm thinking about a trip from Egypt to Libya next spring ('05).
