Modern Meets Ancient in Libya’s Real Estate

Think of the jewels of the Mediterranean and the chances are you’ll think of the cultural treasures lying on its northern shores. But for those in the know, the classical legacies of Greece and Italy that lie in Libya are of almost unparalleled beauty and importance.

Word is getting out that Libya is home to five, astonishing, Unesco World Heritage sites, which include well-preserved classical sites such as Leptis Magna, incredible natural landscapes of haunting beauty and abandoned towns of ancient desert peoples lying deep within the Sahara.

The vast number of sites lying just an hour or so from the capital Tripoli, provide enough of a glimpse into classical history and exotic North African living to prove that this vast country has a lot to offer the visitor and longer-term resident alike.

Cross the millennia to today and you’ll find a new wave of impressive real estate emerging in Libya. A development of a style and construct just as adapted to the Libyan climate as those of the ancients, but in tune with today’s demands for comfort, convenience and quality living is taking shape in just 15km outside Tripoli. The deluxe, village-style housing on offer at Palm City on virgin shores of the Mediterranean is adding a new dimension to the allure of Libya. Palm City’s real estate offer is drawing interest from the international, corporate community seeking quality, accommodation to rent in Libya.

Palm City Residences is the brainchild of Mediterranean Investments Holding p.l.c., an experienced real estate developer and hospitality company with interests in Libya already. Managing director Reuben Xuereb comments, "Mediterranean Investments Holding p.l.c. will be venturing further into creating landmark developments, both for housing and commercial interests in Libya. We are very proud to be one of the pioneers in developing a style of living that will enable outsiders to appreciate the beauty of this land and what it has to offer".

For those quick enough off the mark to sign up for a five- to seven-year letting in this new-style housing development in Libya, the rewards are great. Not only will they experience the ultimate in modern living, but they will also have some of the most important classical sites of the ancient world just an excursion’s distance from Palm City.
