Libya Expeditions is celebrating the tale of courage honor, and comradeship during the Siege of Tobruk with its historic five-day ANZAC Libya World War II Remembrance Tour.

“Every April, ANZAC Day is commemorated in Australia and New Zealand, and the legend of the ‘Rats of Tobruk’ and their valor has made Tobruk extremely popular with Australian and New Zealand tourists,” said Ryad Sunusi, Libya Expeditions founder and CEO.

“In Tobruk, the past comes alive with World War II memorials, memorabilia and relics, where the deeds and hardships of those who fought and died thousands of miles from their homes and loved ones are forever enshrined.”

The ANZACS, an acronym for Australian and New Zealand Army Corps, were known for their tenacious fighting spirit and courage during the World Wars, often overcoming tremendous odds to win key victories. In Libya, where the besieged ANZACS — dubbed the “Rats of Tobruk” by the impressed Germans — achieved legendary status for their heroism and ferocious resistance against Rommel’s forces during the Western Desert Campaign.

The Libya World War II Remembrance Tour is a step back into time and the battles between Allied and Axis forces in North Africa.

The tour visits Tobruk and its memorials and cemeteries, including the Commonwealth War cemetery, Knightsbridge Acroma, and Bar Hakim.

Interesting side excursions include Rommel’s massive underground bunker, the Fig Tree Hospital, the “Lady Be Good,” and the German Memorial. April is the most popular month for the ANZAC Tobruk tour, coinciding with ANZAC Day and the Siege of Tobruk, on April 25 and 10, respectively.
