Leptis Magna is by far the most amazing historical site i have ever been to. Its is incredibly beautiful, full of detailed history packed away for you to walk on, touch and sit around and enjoy the amazing atmosphere that place has.
I cannot begin to tell you what a wonderful place it is to visit. Whether your interested in the history of it, or the natural beauty of it. There is something about this place that gets me so calm, peaceful and relaxed, a lot more than just a place at the beach!! And im normally not the type of person to ever be interested in history!
There is a special kind of silence in this place. A type i cannot describe in just words. It can never be replecated, its a peaceful silence, not a depressing one.
My reccomendation is to go to Leptis magna, either very early morning, so everything is nice and cool, or to go after 2:00pm during the summer. Summer is the best time in my opinion as you get this special cold breeze from the sea which is right in front of Leptis magna.
Food and drinks arent allowed inside, although you can take water with you. An inside tip is, put any food you want to take, in a purse or very small bag, hidden away from the people at the gate. They prohibit food items as people have been careless in the past. So do make sure you dont leave a mess behind.
Best to take your food packed with you as you never know when the shops around do open. And the tourist shops are expensive.
Leptis magna is a place you can go over and over again. It is so huge. Some people do hire a guide to take them, you may do that one time, but i reccomend going just by yourself, and studying about the place before you go, as you will get to really feel the atmosphere it has.
