The deep blues and greens of the Mediterranean and clear blue sky create a breathtaking backdrop for this awesome ancient Roman site. I couldn't help but spread my arms wide for applause as I stood on the theatre stage, and lounge on the steps of the classic Roman bath. Even the marble latrines lured me to take a seat and imagine what life there may have been like.

For about $2, I explored, touched, and experienced a past that I had only read about in a History book. I have been to Sabratha twice, and plan to visit again for the wonderful way my mind opens up to the past with wonder and imagination.

Sabratha is not as large as the Leptis Magna site about 3 hours drive to the east, but definately worth seeing. Each site is unique and beautiful, so I recommend taking time to visit both, preferably Sabratha first as it will take your breath away, then allow Leptis Magna to take your breath yet again when you discover the immense size of the preserved city.
