Mohammad Ali seems like the friendliest dude. Would love to just sit with him, have tea, and talk about life ☕️

The gentleman that said "Better today than yesterday and better tommorow than today" was ooozing positivity. The world would a better place if we all thought like him.

As a Libyan citizen, I like to welcome all guests from all over the world when the country is stable and peace prevails

"Word is getting around that a tourist is in town..." You know you're off the beaten path when just showing up gets people excited 😂

Mohammed's house was gorgeous! The rug, the mosaics on the walls, cool glass ornaments.... Hippy Heaven

How is it that corporate media can’t find one Indigo Traveler?

Hey Nick :) my name is Alaa, I am a 26 years old Libyan living in Tripoli, I'm so happy to see your effort to try to shed a light on the current situation of our country, and debunk some of the fear created by the media's portrayal of the situation, and partly based of recent history events as well. To shed a light on some of the thoughts that were going through your head in the video, Ghdames is a historical/nature tourism destination, the city is mostly empty because of the current weather ( simply this isn't the prime season to visit it ) , Also the police watching you closely is truly for your safety, unfortunately we still have a parley there legal system and the last thing any of us want is a foreigner being endangered by armed groups or even random acts of ignorantly hate attacks, anyway, if you are still in the city and you find your self interested in getting more local and youthful perspectives, please feel free to contact me and I'm sure we can work something out :)

As Ghanaian Libya looks like home and I can’t wait to see Libya great again 🤲🏾

traveller with a camera does better than 99% of journalists. Great job Nick, you are one of a kind

I forgot I was watching KZfaq travel vlog and thought I was watching a journalism piece for a second, very interesting and nicely done

Muhammed Ali really floats like a butterfly with his eloquence and stings like a bee with his truth.

I would love to sit and talk with Mohammad and hear all of his stories. Great video! Hugs from Norway!

Once again forgotten by the mainstream media indigo traveler brings us a marvelous story!

Not gonna lie the desert sceneries are breathtaking. The only downside is the scorching heat.

Love how he loves the Scottish rather than the English, most people around the world agree with him about that statement 💚💯🙏🏻

I’ve followed you for a few years and I love your channel. I think about you and your safety when I’m not watching or when there isn’t an upload. I pray for you and hope you are safe and enjoying your travels. Thank you for giving us such amazing thought provoking content. 🙏🏾❤️

I really appreciate this as a Libyan. It may be difficult now but when the situation in Libya improves day by day it will be a much better experience if you plan on revisiting.

Real eye opening stuff! Last person I watched traveling over this much was Anthony Bourdain. I treasured him and I miss him. Huge compliment. I plan on binging your entire channel. Much love and respect from 🇺🇸🌎❤.

Thank you for showcasing the beauty of this world throughout the pandemic! The work you're doing Nick isn't going unnoticed! I haven't been able to travel to see my family in Italy for 2 years because of Covid, I often get depressed and cry over it, but your videos give me optimism for the future and keep me going! Great work

I´m loving this Lybia series! The night view of the hotel looks beatiful

Nobody shows Libya clearly and deep as u show! Greetings to Libyan people from India 🇮🇳

This has quickly become one of my favourite youtube channels. I love the take on showing the reality of life and not just the tourism side, BUT with no bias. Thank you for sharing these countries with us!

It’s true I’m in Ghadamis and it’s very safety 🇱🇾

Great videos ! I lived in Libya one year before the revolution and fled when it was actually happening from the east side to Egypt. I will never forget and seeing Libya makes me really emotional

I’m American Iraqi, my grandparents live in Libya and I visited them using my Iraqi passport last summer, I faced absolutely no policing or any form of extreme control. I’d say you might be facing this due to these people’s fear of westerns. Western governments literally ruined their country and had been stealing it’s wealth for more than a decade now. And since they just formed their government, I assume they’re trying to not fail due to Americans and Europeans one more time.

I'm currently based in Libya. Last spring break, my colleagues, whom are all foreign teacher from all sorts of continent had a great time with their visit in Gadames. (I wish I was there too but I went to spend my break outside.) Here in Tripoli, security police and militias are a lot less compared 2 years ago. Shops are opened and everything are back in business. We drive and walk in Tripoli especially in Madina, the city center and I never encountered anyone asking us about anything except hospitality and people asking where are we from and after that, they will say be very happy to say welcome to Libya. They're happy seeing foreigners here. Mainly because most of them went out during the war. So few are still working here but it's not a common sight. So, in summary, you still find good places here but are mainly found in Tripoli and other major cities. But outside Tripoli, there are some peaceful places and some are not. It's just a matter of choosing where to go and knowing the limits plus the dangers of places you're trying to visit. I hope you try to share the nice shops and places in the city centers. They're far than what I expected in a country torn by civil war. That's for sure.

I am working in Libya 2006 to 2011 really i miss Bangazi City❤ I have to much friends in Libya. .MSEC

My housemate when I was in my first job in London was from Libya. I travelled to Libya with him in 2004; had a great time. Security fears were not a thing- all I came back with were good memories which stay with me even now. 13 years later, in 2017 I travelled to Tripoli for a business meeting; flew in and out the same day but they were possibly the most tense few hours of my life. It's good to see you took the time and chance to visit the country and share your perspective with the rest of us. Doesn't feel like the country is ready for tourism (long way from it) and especially in this post COVID world. But I hope to get back when conditions allow.

Muhammad Ali's living room was so gorgeous how cool to be with him there just talking and absorbing all you can! ❤

"Scotland more friendly than English" This man wants to start a bloody war in the comments

Thank you for showing this beautiful country! You are doing a great job documenting this trip even though it's harder to talk to folks. I've still learned alot about a place I've only heard bad things about. I hope it continues to get better for the folks of Libya. Stay safe!

I am reading about Libiya since 2014 and live this place . Having great history and respect

my mom used to live in libya sometime in the mid 1980’s. she doesn’t remember much but she remembers there was many nice people and lived relatively peacefully. my grandpa (who brought my family there because he was working there) is still alive but for some odd reason he doesn’t like to talk about libya. i’ve made up my own theories about why he doesn’t talk about it, but really i don’t think i’ll ever know. love from turkey 🇹🇷

I’m loving this story. I had an antique shop in Alaska so this episode was that much better. Thanks again for your effort and courage. Libya. Even in my dreams I never thought I would see it.

I'm Libyan and Libya was much much better during Gadaffi than it is now.

I thank you as a Libyan for showing the truth about my country.

Lol Hillary saying “we saved lives” is hilarious af

I remember watching this video after my mum's funeral and all i can say is that watching these videos helped me calm me down after a really long day. Please continue uploading them.

Man, seeing Ghadames again is just surreal, i haven't been able to visit it since 2013 even thou I'm a Libyan living in Libya! *Do i feel secure and safe?* To a certain point now? Yes, but financially I'm not feeling safe, at 32 years i managed to fully own a house only to be bombed and torn apart by the latest war in Tripoli 2019-2020, got carjacked, got assaulted on numerous occasions. It's just a mess no thanks to Hillary of course. But even with that the country is freaking beautiful!!!

As a Libyan I’ll tell you the reason you’re constantly being followed is totally for your safety as you noticed almost to no tourist visit Libya currently therefore when word spreads that a foreigner is there especially a western some will presume that your well off which can bring unwanted attention such as theft or kidnapping especially in remote areas in the south, and great video bdw!

I would like to visit Libya some day, it looks beautiful. I am personally a fan of deserts, the silence you can have there is one that has a magic to it. Those of faith could say it brings them closest to the spirit. That kind of magic.

Muhammad Ali hasn’t changed a bit! - still a legend!

The desert scenes look like you are visiting another planet ! The homes your visited ....I love the ornate decorations on the walls and colourful rugs ! As usual, you find very interesting people to talk to. Thankyou

I hope I see a Libya open to tourism in my lifetime. There is something special about the vibe I get from these videos; just seems like such a beautiful, mysterious place. Great stuff as always.

Hope Libyans tide over this phase and prosperity returns.

Wow, Muhammad Ali's house is gorgeous. So many bright colors, beautiful decorations and patterns painted on the walls, and so many rugs and pillows! I'd end up falling asleep right after dinner. I can't but wonder though, is there a significance to all the mirrors he has?

I’m learning so much, I really appreciate the work that went into this

Last week was intense but so fascinating 😍. Getting ready for round 2. Great great job! Brave videos as usual 😍

2010 the first time I knew much about this beautiful country. I have some friends here who got scholarship there. And from their witnesses, I can easily sum up this country is freaking amazing. When I was in college around 2011, couple of time I presented Libya as my presentation topic. My lecturer and friends always amazed with my content. I also got a Libyan friend to convey exact information to support for my presentation projects. Hope Libya can raise very soon. Love from Indonesia 🇮🇩🤲

Wow, so many beautiful but empty places... I hope Libyans know that, even if there aren’t a lot of tourist and visitors, many people care about what’s going in there and we wish them the best.

To many in Africa , Gaddafi was seen in a good light. He wanted to unite all the African States into the United States of Africa.. and to many in Ghana and elsewhere, Libya had lot of jobs for them and they could bring a lot of money back to their home countries. Sad to see it looks this . Hopefully it gets better

You should definitely go to the ancient city of Sebrstha, which is a really beautiful ancient city from the Roman times. It’s like 6 hours drive from Gadamis, but then it’s just like only 1.5 hours drive to Tripoli.

Damn bro, you walked all the hotel corridors just to show us. Hats off man

As someone from Scotland i can confirm we are the friendliest ! Thank you for praising my Country Mohammed

That guy had a great memorabilia collection…I love how history can be traced by collections like that. Great video as usual.

I'm really loving this series. I would love to be able to visit there someday!

That man you ate with and interviewed was so lovely. Wish everywhere had more people like him

I got to tell after watching this video l would much rather visit Libya then most of the US, Chicago, Detroit, New York just to name a few

Scotland: They may take our lives, but they will never take our Friendliness! My personal experience, southern Egypt is more friendly than northern Egypt.

Indigo. You do amazing work my man. Stay safe out there. 🙏

"I tell you one thing ...Scotland more friendly than england" yes ...yes we are !😂

Libya was one of the best countries to live I have been there it was cool but iwas 2014 Ilove it Tripoli 🇱🇾 ليبيًا حره 🇸🇴✌️

Nothing better then to waking up to a new video.. time for a coffee!

You should see Gaddafi's speech in 2009 in the UN. That is what signed his death warrant.

For some reason Libya seems a lot safer than some most of the places i saw in previous videos of Honduras. Maybe it's just my perception. It may be the geography or just the surrounding areas. I'm not sure cause I can't experience what's being portrayed on the video and like Nick said there are many restrictions and people are constantly watching him when he's filming.

So better was before… Usa was quick smart to get rid of Gaddafi, where are they now? I feel sorry for the people, because they seem nice, but it looks like the world has abandoned them completely…

I think you missed the significance of what he was saying about the cigarette cartons. During the Kingdom period, the brand is literally a transliteration of "Sport" written in Arabic - like imagine the letters S B O R T written out in Arabic, so it's a transliteration not a translation. Whereas in Gaddafi's Libya it's a translation i.e. it's the actual Arabic word that means sport (riyadha in Arabic). The point is that (depending on your point of view) the Kingdom period is perhaps Anglophile/Westernophile (or pro-colonialist), and the Gaddafi period is Arabophile (or Arab Nationalist).

Thank you for such an honest video. Libya has so much potential.

The gentleman with the nick nacks displayed was awesome. Seeing a collection with that much history and in Libya, impressive stuff.

That was so nice, Libya beautiful country Don’t forget to visit leptis magna, shahhat and the beach at zwara and misurata you will love it

The Hilary quotes 😵‍💫yikes we barely dodged that crusty old bullet

Welcome any time in Libya brother god bless you 🙏🏽

amazing to see this, my wife and I visited Libya in 2007 and our itinerary followed much of your trip - it was an amazing place to visit and surely will be again one day

Such a BEAUTIFUL, rich of HISTORY country! Hopefully one day this splendid place will open its majestic gates to all the tourists, would love to visit AWESOME LIBYA! Thanks for this fantastic video buddy

Tuna for breakfast at 35 degrees Celsius feels like a bad idea.

Indigo tanks for the vlog This is my country Libya 🇱🇾 has many beautiful places, such as Sabratha, Libda Magna, and many more in the site Welcome everyone in Libya 🇱🇾

I am Indian libya is my birth place tripoli❤ i hope some day libya will be stable again

Wow, Nick. Another great video bro. Seems like Libya will be a great place to visit and vacation. Your hosts seem very nice and genuine.

My dream as a little girl was to travel Africa, it was sad to grow up and learn that there's much turmoil on my continent. Still it's a beautiful continent, at least now I get to see it through you Nick. The thing leaders of the world don't realize is that they'll be accountable for everything they did in this life. Love from South Africa

Hi Nick! I haven’t even seen the video and I already know this is going to be good!😊Cheers from Australia 🇦🇺

Another amazing look as limited as it is. Thanks for pushing and trying to show us more. Cheers from 🇨🇦

Were you able to get out at night and look at the sky while out of the city? Must be one of the best places on earth to view the night sky.

Libya was once a developed country. I come from Poland, and my uncle and many Poles, before the fall of communism in Poland, worked to build a network of pipelines after the discovery of huge deposits of water. Sad how the war destroyed this place....

I do believe the police is protecting him. It is still a dangerous country and they don't need publicity for a missing tourist.

Wow I am in awe of the house u went into in that old town 😍 so much beauty and history . Thank you for sharing!!

The Man is almost at 1 mill he deserves it thats for sure.

Waited for this the whole week..

I agree us Scots are probably more friendly 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

You're a brave and kind young man. I am 80 and enjoy your KZfaq's.

Great Vid that shows the real Libyan people are warm friendly and hospitable. Many Libyan students came to Sunderland in the 70 - 80's to learn engineering, i often wonder if they survived and how they are doing.

I love that you focus on the people❤️ we are all more alike, then we are different!!!

Hillary Clinton: We saved a lot of Libyan lives.. Me: 😂😂😂😂😂😂... Honestly politicians are the definition of a devil.... Hahahahaha

Thank you Nick for all you do. Really appreciate it. Especially when its not easy to film things in places like Libya. Its a shame really that some countries are so restricted.

I worked in Libya for four years in the 2000s. Here are my impressions and a few comments. Take them with a grain of salt since I am by no means an expert on the culture or the people. Libyans are quite a simple people. They live simple lives and their culture instills an attitude of humility, respect and friendliness in everyone. A senior engineer from the USA who I met once told me that when he was in Libya in the 1960s there were basically no cars in Tripoli, only horses, donkeys and camels. Only government officials and diplomats had cars. That indicated to me how close to traditional lifestyle the people are. I don't have any insight into the conflicts in the country since 2011. But I believe they are rooted in rival tribes, struggling for a larger share of power and reprisals for stuff that happened during the Ghadafi years. The police presence may have simply been a carry-over of police practices from the Ghadafi years. In other words during Ghadafi's time the police monitored people regularly and now that he is gone they simply continue the same practice since they don't know what else to do. (I was told there were five different security forces in the country and Ghadafi had them spying on each other so no one security force could become too powerful.) Since you were the only foreigner in the town they put all the staff on your trail. A Libyan friend of mine told me that as a westerner it's better to just say "hello" as a greeting, rather than "as-salaam-alaikum". Every Libyan knows what "hello" means and for them it sounds strange when a foreigner says "as-salaam-alaikum".

"Scotland more friendly than England" As a welshman living in England, this is true But the Scots... they can be mean

Awesome trip Creepy security everywhere Food looks very intriguing Thanks for letting us see Libya through your eyes

I lived in Tripoli back in 2017 can’t wait to visit again

Thanks Nick for bringing us " real" stories from Libya. Much respect to you. Great work.

Your videos are really interesting, keep up the good work and stay safe.
