Farwa

Farwa Libya

 

Farwa is uninhabited, small island, situated about two miles off the coast of Abu-kemmash, and about 40 km to the west of Zwara city. The 470-hectare Farwa is a long and narrow stretch of sand hills and dunes, covered with a bout 4000 palm trees, overlooking the sea on both sides. At its widest point, Farwa is only 1.1 km wide, and in some places is only a few hundred yards wide.

It is the only peninsula in Libya and one of the must-see sites in the Jamahiriya. If you value your privacy and fresh air, then Farwa could be a life-time opportunity to experience the exotic atmosphere of the Mediterranean paradise. The Libyan tourism board is planning to build a tourist resort on the island, which will permanently change the natural landscape of the peninsula.

According to the Libyan Jamahiriya Broadcasting Corporation (www.ljbc.net) the Farwa resort will be built with a partnership between al-Niqat al Khams municipality, Farwa for Tourism, and the Italian Norman investment group. The 44-month project, costing about $268 million, will be implemented on an area of 470 hectares, and in order to keep the island as a natural reserve, part of the resort will be built on the island and the other part on the Libyan coast. The resort will include six big hotels (two 5-star and four 4-star), in addition to an oasis of 70 tents equipped with modern services, floating tents, golf course, two Yacht platforms, and other essential services.
