UK-based architect Dexter Moren Associates (DMA) is to begin work on the £100m, 350-bed Wadi Alswani luxury resort on the Libyan coast later this year.
DMA was chosen for the project after attending a visit to the country organised by British Expertise - a private sector member organisation for British companies set up to assist UK companies to find work abroad.
The Wadi Alswani Resort will provide 350 luxury rooms and 45 villas with access to a private beach and will be completed as one of the first project phases.
The desert site is located on the plateau south of an existing village and features Ottoman ruins and an Italian memorial. The resort will be perched above the cliff top providing uninterrupted views of the Mediterranean.
