The Libyan Sahara has more unique features and rich variety
of desert landscapes than any other North African country, and as such Libya
can provide some of the best locations for filming, especially science fiction
movies, desert adventures and nature documentaries. Filming or producing TV documentaries
and programs in Libya requires special permits from the authorities in Tripoli.
if you are thinking of shooting a movie in Libya,
or just making a desert documentary, then please do not hesitate to contact us
for any information you might need. We can
contact the right authorities on your behalf, like the Department
of Foreign Media; assist you with the visa; help you choose the
right locations to suit your requirements; and take care of all the hotel arrangements,
transportation, meals, translation, registration and guides. Once
all the preliminary information is received, we will design
a special itinerary for your project, which you can study,
alter or modify according to your needs, and send it back to
us for approval.
