It all started when…

the hot scorching midday sun beamed down over the glorious and majestic Sahara desert when it occurred to me that the world was missing out on the beauty and charm of the Libyan culture. I was determined to do something about it, so Libyan Tales was born. Through this account, I hoped to bring alive the history of Libya, following decades of dictatorial rule and censorship. Nevertheless, Libyan Tales is not just about the past. I also wanted to celebrate the Libyans of today and the future, so I introduced account takeovers where I’d invite Libyans from different walks of life to share their unique stories with the world.

Maybe you’re wanting to reconnect with your Libyan roots, or maybe you have that one Libyan friend (there aren’t many of us) who keeps throwing out captivating and alluring words and you have no idea what they mean, then step into the delightful world of Libyan Words. The rich tapestry that is the evocative Libyan dialect can now be accessed, one word at a time.

But that’s not all! If you’re in search of old pearls of pure wisdom in the evocative forms of idioms and sayings, be sure to check out Libyan Epigrams. The Libyan people have woven these vibrant sayings into the fabric of their everyday lives and it was time the world learned about them. Through the epigrams, you get an idea of the sheer profundity of the Libyan culture allowing a wider audience to celebrate them.

This site is a celebration of the language and culture that make Libya so special, and I hope you join me in this journey to share it with the world. Take a look at the merchandise and find something that speaks to your heart. With each purchase, you are celebrating Libyan culture and supporting the mission to share it with the world.

But that’s not all! More to come soon, by the grace of God.
