During the trip, which was organised by Ghadames Town Council and the EU Border Assistance Mission (EUBAM Libya), discussions were held with the local authority and security officials, as well as representatives from civil society and women’s organisations.
An ancient caravan stopping-point, the Old City of Ghadames is a Unesco World Heritage Site. It is also located in an area known as the Triangle, where Libya, Tunisia and Algeria meet. Since the revolution, the lack of border security has been putting off visitors, who previously brought the town much of its revenue.
