Once called the Pearl of the Sahara, Libya’s centuries-old heritage site, Ghadamis, has been devoid of tourists since the uprising against Muammar Gaddafi began last year.
Residents say the instability created after the downfall of the Gaddafi regime has dealt a heavy blow to the city’s tourist-reliant economy.
