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.

For more details, see Vision Tours web-site: www.visiontour05.com 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.
