Arch of Tiberius
Just outside the southern corner of the market, on Via Trionfale, is the Arch of Tiberius (1st century AD).
Roman Museum
The Roman Museum is excellent, although many visitors prefer to leave it until the end so as to better understand the exhibits.
Maziqh Sq
This open courtyard has a tree just off-centre; if youre game, try one of the small white berries, which are tasty, not to mention perfectly safe.
Greek Propylea
The sanctuarys ancient gateway is marked off to the east by the four Doric columns of the reconstructed Greek Propylea or Monumental Gateway (3rd century BC).
Osman Mosque
Behind the mosque is another square surrounded by modern porticos and off to the northwest is the Osman Mosque with its distinctive Ottoman-style minaret.
Atiq Mosque
At the northern end of Freedom Sq is the Atiq Mosque. The original mosque on the site was built in the early 15th century, but had many later renovations.
New Mosque
Modern Ghadames is a pleasant town whose skyline is dominated by the attractive New Mosque with its marble pillars and towering minaret; non-Muslims are not allowed inside.
Capitoleum
Outside the agoras southern wall is the Capitoleum , the customary temple to the Greek trinity of Zeus, Hera and Athena (or, if you were Roman, Jupiter, Juno and Minerva).
Old Egyptian Consulate
The pastel shades and wooden shutters of the Old Egyptian Consulate, just off Sharia Jamal Abdul Nasser, exude a certain decaying elegance amid the palm trees and are strongly evocative of its Italianate origins.
Yunis Mosque
The Yunis Mosque, built in 1422, is the main mosque of the Bani Wazid part of town. This simple mosque makes use of pillars from the old Roman triumphal arch. Upon entering the square, you leave the Bani Wazid part of town.
Leptis Magna site
The Leptis Magna site is entered via car park No 1; the open area of the car park has book stalls, a place selling drinks and snacks and a post and telephone office. It is compulsory to visit Leptis with a guide (LD50).
Ghadames Museum
The Ghadames Museum is housed in an old fort that began life as a police station under the Italians. It has five sections; only those of greatest interest are listed here. There are old black-and-white photos of Ghadames throughout.
Dan Do Youniss
Right behind the Tiyloaan Café youll find the Dan Do Youniss, one of the traditional Ghadames houses that has opened to the public; unusually, it has helpful English-language labels in most rooms. There are also good views from the roof.
Souq al
The covered market of Benghazi, Souq al-Jreed, stretches for over 1km from Freedom Sq to Al-Funduq Market. Its not the most evocative bazaar in the Arab world but its liveliness and colour are among the highlights of a visit to Benghazi.
Lighthouse
The port was another key element of Septimius Severus vision. The Lighthouse, of which only the foundation remains, was once more than 35m high. Some historians believe that it was not that different from the more famous Pharos of Alexandria.
Arch of Marcus Aurelius
This last remnant of the ancient Roman city of Oea was completed in AD 163-64. The Arch of Marcus Aurelius stood at the crossroads of the two great Roman roads of the city - the cardo maximus (running north to south) and decumanus (east to west).
Odeon
Behind the western wall of the anicent gymnasium was the Odeon and the Xystos, a track used by athletes training for races. Across the thoroughfare was another small theatre for musical performances, which was probably abandoned after the earthquake in AD 262.
