Ride the wave of history on an incredible motorbike journey through these fascinating and exciting two North African countries (Libya and Tunisia).
LIBYA & TUNISIA - Adventure motorbiking at its very best.
Countries of amazing contrasts with magnificent coastlines, beaches, mountains, forests, and the Sahara; the world's greatest desert.
Ride with us on this incredible motorbike journey through Tunisia and Libya each with their own mountain ranges, gorges, and true desert landscapes.
We visit some of the finest of the world's surviving Roman Sites and medieval Islamic cities all with their own special atmosphere and magic.
Enroute we visit numerous Roman sites including the magnificent Leptis Magna, and the Berber heartlands of the Jabal Nafusah with its hill oasis villages and fortified granaries.
Riding back from Libya we explore an enchanting oasis town at the fringe of the Northern Sahara which is the most extensive ancient caravan route still in use.
Continuing north through the desert to the mountains of central Tunisia we visit Troglodyte villages amidst weird lunar landscapes. We ride through numerous small towns with their lush palmeries and an abundance of fresh fruit.
Our motorbike tour to North Africa ends with short days riding along the Mediterranean coast with ample time to relax and explore the ancient city of Carthage.
