Hidden desert marvels
Article Abstract:
Female visitors to Libya should take care to ensure that they dress appropriately, avoiding any clothes that show a lot of bare skin. Visitors are always accompanied, but they are not restricted in where they go. In some parts of Libya, time seems to have stood still, while in other parts there are signs of modern life. It is worth visiting Libya's town and city markets, where modern clothes and traditional hand-woven cotton and linen are available. Visitors should be aware that alcohol is strictly illegal.

A quiet flowering of desert tourism
Article Abstract:
Saudi Arabia is gradually beginning to allow Westerners to enter the country as tourists. Those who do so will discover a culturally rich land where traditions have remained unchanged for generations. Western tourists entering Saudia Arabia from Europe are obliged to join an escorted tour, and are expected to respect local customs, particularly in relation to the role of women in society. However, it is still well worth taking the trouble to visit Saudi Arabia.
