Libya Tour

Vision Tours, a small, nonpprofit tour operator, has scheduled a 12-day
tour of Libya, January 14-25, 2005. The itinerary is designed for
intrepid travelers who want to see Libya’s most attractive highlights:
desert caravans, Tuareg nomads, romantic Roman and Greek ruins, bustling
cities, and ancient artifacts visible beneath Mediterranean waters.

Concerns about security of American tourists in a country with an
acknowledged terrorist past are understandable. It should be noted,
however, that radical Islam has not taken hold in Libya, and the
nation’s relative wealth and strong government have made Libya a safe
travel destination for decades.

In recent months, the U.S. State Department has lifted travel bans on
Libya. The country is now open to be seen for what it is—a fascinating
country, with a history stretching back 4,000 years.

Libya may be one of the few Arab nations in which U.S. travelers are
free to pursue cross-cultural understanding with Muslims. This has long
been a goal of Vision Tours’ leader, East Los Angles College professor
Dr. John Rude. Opportunities for people-to-people exchanges are built
into the tour schedule.

What does that mean? What's stopping them in, say, Egypt, Oman, or Lebanon?

Nothing, they are the other few.

What's stopping them in Morocco, Jordan, and Syria?

I also wonder about the phrase "Libya may be one of the few Arab
nations in which US travellers are free to pursue cross cultural
understanding with muslims". On a twelve day tour with Libyan minders
in tow, I wonder how "people to people exchanges" will occur.
There is no doubt there are many cultural sites to be seen and the
Libyans need tourists.
