Old granary

Qasr Haj Travel Blog › entry 15 of 21 › view trip summary

Libya is full of world class historical sights from ancient cave paintings to roman ruins. The dessert scenery is outstanding and virtually without tourist. But most importantly are the people who will always give a hand if they can and generally want to help you to get a better stay in Libya.

Old granary

The old granary

Getting up in the morning gives a nice surprise the room is almost warm - not quite warm - but considering the location it is a lot warmer than I would have expected. The sun is still not up but it is getting there and we leave the lodge to go to an old Berber village which got a forty fight old granary.

 

The big granary in this town was used by the locals staying in the nearby villages and in case of an enemy approaching they could close the door to the granary and protect it easily.

 

Each family would have one or two rooms in the granary which would contain there usual storage of different kind of crops for the winter. And in the courtyard would be a market where you could sell or buy supplies.

 

After this short visit to and old granary it is good buy to rural Libya now it is back to the big city - back to Tripoli where the end of my little trip come worrisome close.
