Libya is a country in Northern Africa, bordering the Mediterranean Sea, located between Egypt on the east, Sudan on the southeast, Chad and Niger on the south and Algeria and Tunisia to the west. Its capital city is Tripoli. The three traditional sections of the country are Tripolitania, the Fezzan and Cyrenaica.

The name "Libya" derives from the Egyptian term "Lebu", referring to Berber peoples living west of the Nile, and adopted into Greek as "Libya". In ancient Greece, the term had a broader meaning, encompassing all of North Africa west of Egypt, and sometimes referring to the entire continent of Africa.

Libya has quite some potential. It is just a few hours south from mass tourist destinations in Tunisia. It has some great Roman sights in Leptis magna, Sabratha, Shahhat etc. It also has lots of desert with unique old desert cities such as Ghat Ghadhames and numerous castles. Also numerous mountains and desert lakes off Sebha down the Wadi al Haya valley (Valley of Life) such as Umm Al Maa, Mandara and Gaber Oun lake lakes etc. Germa is about halfway between Sebha and Ubari.
