Ubari Lakes

Across Libya’s shifting sands, the journey begins in Tripoli, where echoes of empires linger. A flight carries you south to Ubari, gateway to the desert’s hidden gems. Among the ruins of Germa, the stones whisper of the Garamantians, a people who once defied Rome beneath the blazing sun. Days unfold in the stillness of the Ubari Lakes—emerald waters cradled by golden dunes, silent and eternal. Nights settle beneath the desert sky, where the horizon glows with fire and stars. At last, the path leads back to Tripoli’s winding streets, a farewell to the oasis and the timeless heart of the Sahara.
