Continue walking along the side of the highway, keeping an eye out for any local buses or shared taxis that may pass by, which can offer a quicker option to reach Leptis Magna. After approximately 30 minutes of walking, you will arrive at the entrance of Leptis Magna Museum, located at the coordinates J7MQ+MCJ.

From your location in Zliten, find the nearest bus stop that serves routes heading towards Leptis Magna. Buses typically run every half hour. Board a bus labeled for Leptis Magna and pay the fare (usually a small fee). The bus ride will take approximately 20-30 minutes, depending on traffic. Once you arrive at the bus stop near the entrance of the museum, disembark and follow the signs leading to the museum entrance, which is just a short walk away.
