Traveling to Tripoli for a vacation

My name is Aziza from Alexandria. Late last year, I planned to book a ticket to Tripoli for a short vacation. I was able to secure a plane ticket to Tripoli from Afriqiyah Airways. My experience on board was great. I felt safe and secure thanks to the staff and crew of the plane. When I have arrived at Tripoli, I checked in my hotel before exploring the city. In my travel, I have discovered the Arch of Marcus Aurelius. I like this portion of the city. The architecture of the buildings remind me of Old Roman Empire. The arch itself is antique, yet it is still grand to look at. I stayed at Tripoli for a few days. After my travel, I booked a ticket back home.
