    It is truly hard for me to believe that I was able to gain access into Libya. A country where tourists don't exist and the local authorities are understandably extremely paranoid. Hope you are ready for this series, it's going to be wild. 🇱🇾

The things that you see in the media do happen, but there is so much more to this country than just that. I really appreciate the time and care you took in deconstructing that image, and really connecting with the people, the culture, and the spectacular sights. Keep up the great work man!

    Thanks for this Nick. I went to Libya several times in 2008 on business, before the fall of Gaddafi, and absolutely loved it. The people were so hospitable and welcoming and delighted to see foreign visitors. At that time tourists were still evident too. A much misunderstood country with such a rich history and huge potential, it breaks my heart to see what has happened to it in the last decade. You do such a great job in opening people's eyes to the real stories behind these places, and highlighting that, for the most part, we're all just human beings trying to live a peaceful life, raise our families and make a living. I would love to go back some day.

    I remember going to Malta with family on vacation back in 2000 and not only was the food diabolical there, the Maltese came across unfriendly, cold and calculating and very adept at ripping people(tourists) off. But we got lucky when we discovered a little gem of a takeaway Restaurant, owned by a friendly and kind Libyan (a migrant restauranter) who served some amazing Mediterranean food, sometimes giving us discounted prices as we regularly ate there. He was also helpful in recommending places of interest to visit there - I guess perhaps, things may be different in Malta today but we never went back after that trip, though we often reminisce about the warm hearted Libyan, with very fond memories. After watching this, I hope to be able to visit this very 'misunderstood' country called Libya.

Gaddafi told the west if they wanted to buy his oil then they have to pay in Euros or gold not the Dollar, so America invaded weeks after that.

    I lived in Libya, as a [English] child, in the pre-Gaddafi King Idris days, as my father was in the small RAF contingent supporting the vast US military presence there then. The US base, Wheelas, was amazing - they had every luxury they considered normal, including imported soil to make a golf course and such like. We had a high walled compound, next to the US Embassy, and my mother traded cheap cigarettes with the gardeners there for some of the fresh fruit and veg they grew ! Once a week, dozens of camels were herded past to the slaughter yard.
    We explored loads of different places; it is beautiful, but I really only remember our times on the beaches. Stay safe, Nick.

I'm a bit disappointed that you went through the desert and did not witness some of Libya's most breathtaking sights. Hopefully you'll get to see more in the coming days! Also, thank you for this. Libya doesn't get enough impartial media coverage.

      No I am very glad he went to visit the desert. This part of Libya is really never seen, and nearly no videos exist of Libya's Sahara. Photos of it are rare, and of course there are practically no street view images of it either. Documentation of this part of Libya is fascinating, and I am incredibly glad he ventured into the "unknown" for us westerners, only able to visit Libya through media.

    I have a very close friend who is from Libya who has told me all about it. We aren't in touch much these days but he always used to tell me he would take me there to visit the beaches because Libya has amazing beaches (this was before the fall of Gaddafi). Most of his family still live there and I often think about them. This is a fascinating video, I'm so glad you made it! By the way, I met lots of his friends who were also from Libya and they were ALL lovely, generous, welcoming people!

    I spent my youth in Tripoli, 1963-1970. It's an enduring sadness for my friends and family that we've not been able to return to visit this wonderful country and it's friendly people.
    I can't begin to describe the amazing experiences we had there. Maybe things will change enough in the future for a trip back "home". Inshalla.
