The desert city of Ghadames, inscribed on the World Heritage List, is testimony to Libya's archaeological treasures. However, as a result of conflict, the site was placed on the World Heritage in Danger list in 2016. This project, led by King’s College London, in collaboration with the Libyan Department of Antiquities, contributed to protecting the site through emergency stabilization measures, development of management plans, and training of local professionals in heritage protection techniques, paving the way for future conservation measures.
