3:30AM The wake-up call roused me. I quickly took the hotel shuttle to the airport, spending the next two hours in the lounge before our 6AM departure to Tripoli.
9:45AM Landing in Libya marked my final continental African destination. There was a brief delay at customs; they scrutinized my visa and held me up until my tour guide, Mahmoud, along with the tourist police, came to my aid.
11AM We set out for Sabratha, a mesmerizing coastal ruin just west of Tripoli.
4PM Our exploration concluded and we headed back to Tripoli for dinner. The meal lasted 1.5 hours, capped off with a shared kunafa for dessert. I would have preferred to go see the old city in daylight.
6PM We toured the old city, later driving to the Green Square. I arrived back at the hotel at 9PM.
