The best photos of Leptis Magna aren't always at the obvious landmarks. Sure, Amphitheater will fill your camera roll, but the real magic is in the side streets, the reflected light, and the unexpected angles that only reveal themselves to those exploring on foot. Seek out Hunting Baths for the kind of shot that no one else is posting.
The finest Roman ruins in Africa — a complete city of marble forums, arches, and baths built by the emperor who was born here, half-buried in Saharan sand.

The audio walking tour can include stops such as Amphitheater — a 16,000-seat arena carved into a coastal hillside with views over the Mediterranean, plus hidden gems like Hunting Baths — a smaller bath complex with remarkably preserved painted ceilings depicting hunting scenes and Harbor and lighthouse — the ancient artificial harbor with the remains of a Roman lighthouse, partly submerged.
