Any travel experiences from Libya?

I am considering visiting Libya next summer. I have been to Morocco, Tunisia, and Egypt so I have a basic understanding of the region.

Does anybody have any comments on visiting Libya? How does it compare to the countries listed above? Will English, French, and Italian be enough to get by? My Arabic is horrible and I can’t read it at all.

Basically, I have about ten days for a short visit. I plan on eventually spending an entire summer in the Middle East, but I would like to wait until Iraq calms down before visiting Syria, Lebanon, and Gaza.

If Libya is not a good choice, where would you suggest? I will be living in Rome for the summer and would prefer a unique place with a direct flight from FCO. I have already been to most of the usual locations in Europe.

    Libya is now open for tourism to the West and has made strides over the past 5 years in growing their tourism industry. I've heard it's a great place to explore, particularly if you are into going to unique areas. I've heard the people are very welcoming to outsiders as well.

    Dubai in the UAE is also a must see city, but it's very expensive, if you are strapped for cash, go to Dubai for 3 days, then Oman for the rest of your time, you can explore the wilderness of the deserts in relative peace and in a very nice country.
