Tripoli is a city of about 1.7 million and the capital of Libya. Though Libya is technically one of the wealthiest in Africa, its wealth is not readily apparent. Because of its government's suspicions of foreigners, Libya had yet to fully embrace tourism. Its oldest historical landmark of interest is the Marcus Aurelius Arch. Built in 168 A.D., this archway is the only surviving vestige of the Roman Empire in Tripoli.
