We had a great day today wandering the hills behind the airport. Officially the Benghazi airport is in the town of Benina, and we atually ended up wandering a huge 'wadi' (Arabic for valley) known as Wadi Qattara. There is a dam there that you can read about here. This is what it looks like.
The kids did fantastic, climbing up and down the valleys for a good four hours. We walked to an old settlement from 500 BC or so and then down along the wadi. A few pools of water had frog eggs beneath the surface.
Here's a map of where we were. Great spot - we will go again soon.
