Libyan-Owned Tours in Libya Launches 9-Day Tour for the 2027 Total Solar Eclipse Over Benghazi
Tours in Libya, a Libyan-owned inbound tour operator based in Tripoli, has launched a nine-day tour for the total solar eclipse on 2 August 2027, with about six minutes of totality near Benghazi. The trip combines Leptis Magna, Sabratha and Cyrene, with visas, permits, escort, hotels and meals handled by an all-Libyan team.
Los Angeles, CA, November 13, 2026 --(PR.com)-- Tours in Libya, a Libyan-owned inbound tour operator based in Tripoli, has launched a nine-day tour centred on the total solar eclipse of 2 August 2027. Benghazi lies close to the eclipse's centre line, where approximately six minutes and nine seconds of totality are expected, beginning around 11:27 local time.
The tour runs from 29 July to 6 August 2027. It begins in Tripoli with visits to the Roman cities of Leptis Magna and Sabratha, before flying east to Benghazi for eclipse day. The journey then continues to the ancient Greek sites of Ptolemais, Cyrene and Apollonia.
The eclipse viewing location, near the centre line, will be selected in the days leading up to the event based on weather forecasts, with alternative locations prepared in advance. Early August is hot along the Libyan coast, with typical daytime highs of 32–35°C. To help travellers manage the heat, the itinerary schedules sightseeing for early mornings and late afternoons and includes air-conditioned vehicles and hotels. Hotel availability in Benghazi on eclipse night is limited, so bookings will be confirmed in the order they are received.
"For many years, visitors to Libya were shown the country by people from somewhere else," said Hasan of Tours in Libya. "We are Libyans, and we want eclipse travellers to experience our history and meet our people, with a team that takes care of every detail on the ground."
Libya's tourist e-visa requires an invitation from a Libyan tour operator, and regulations require tourists to travel with a tour operator and a tourist police escort. The tour price includes visa support, a tourist police escort, regional permits, hotels, all meals, ground transportation, domestic flights and an English-speaking Libyan guide. International flights, the government e-visa fee, travel insurance and tips are not included. Prices are available upon request.
Most foreign governments continue to advise against travel to Libya. Tours in Libya encourages prospective travellers to consult their own government's latest travel advice before making a booking.
The company's Tripoli office monitors routes and local conditions each morning and adjusts itineraries when necessary.
