Historical sites in Libya that once appealed to foreign tourists have lost their lustre because of damage caused by fighting, looting and lack of care. One of the historic sites which once appealed to the tourists is Cyrene, an ancient city in eastern Libya. Other sites include the prehistoric rock cuttings in the Akakous mountains in the southern Sahara Desert, near Libya’s border with Algeria. He said owners have built houses on the ancient sites. The governance crisis in Libya makes it all the more difficult to manage sites like Cyrene.
