First up Boughrara which was called Gigthis in Roman times
Ruins of Gigthis
Not too far West from Boughrara is Matmata, home of Tunesia’s underground Troglodyte houses
They show up as holes in the ground on Bing which unfortunately get turned into cylinders by the AI
This is what they look like
This particular one sure looks familiar
The 1976 Star Wars movie, A new hope, was filmed here!
Moving on, flying past Gattoufa enjoying the desert views
The landscape around Remada is magical, glowing in the sunlight
San dunes come in many forms
Dried up river beds look amazing from above
So much color in the desert
Tripoli, the capital of Libya
Saraya museum in the red castle, features Libya’s history from pre historic times until 1953
On the South end of Alaluas
Somewhere near Abugrein
The biggest POI in Abugrein is The fuel station of the late Haj Mohammed Eshryr Ghazali and his sons. It’s a small town.
It’s getting hard to find places nearby to name my screenshots
Closest place Market of the sons of Makhlouf
Near An Nawfaliyah
Near Mintaqat Wadi Harawah
As Sidr aka Sidra, largest oil depot in Libya, shipping about 447,000 barrels per day
Gave its name to the gulf of Sidra during the cold war
After As Sidr I turned South inland, Ufortunately by leaving the coast I also left the detailed imagery behind. Still very relaxing to fly over but not good material for screenshots. I did make one more when I a bit of detail popped up while the sun was setting
Somewhere close to Maradah
