Libya, or as I affectionately refer to it, the prodigal jewel of North Africa, can melt a rather stoic heart with its warm desert winds and compelling ancient history. It's like an undiscovered talent on North Africa’s got talent show, with its sprawling Mediterranean coastline and sweeping Saharan landscapes. It's an open-air museum, with Greek and Roman relics providing unexpected solitaire on its sandy canvas. Sure, at times it has been as dramatic as a Shakespearean tragedy, but when has any great story been devoid of a bit of drama?
