Vision Tours, a small, non-profit tour operator, has scheduled a 12-day tour of Libya, January 14-25, 2005. The itinerary is designed for intrepid travelers who want to see Libya’s most attractive highlights: desert caravans, Tuareg nomads, romantic Roman and Greek ruins, bustling cities, and ancient artifacts visible beneath Mediterranean waters.
In recent months, the U.S. State Department has lifted travel bans on Libya. The country is now open to be seen for what it is—a fascinating place, with a history stretching back 4,000 years. Concerns about security of American tourists in a country with an acknowledged terrorist past are understandable. It should be noted, however, that radical Islam has not taken hold in Libya, and the nation’s relative wealth and strong government have made Libya a safe travel destination for decades.
Libya may be one of the few Arab nations in which U.S. travelers are free to pursue cross-cultural understanding with Muslims. This has long been a goal of Vision Tours’ leader, East Los Angles College professor Dr. John Rude. Opportunities for people-to-people exchanges are built into the tour schedule.

Hi there,
I would normally delete a post like this promoting an operator as this should really be done through the normal advertising channels. But as it is a non profit tour promoting a normally quite inaccessible country and seems to be promoting understanding of another culture I have left it on the forum.
