The desert city of Ghadames, inscribed on the World Heritage in Danger List as a result of conflict in 2016 but removed from it in 2024 following the success of this project, is a testimony to Libya's archaeological treasures. This project, led by King’s College London, in collaboration with the Libyan Department of Antiquities, contributes to protecting the site through emergency stabilization measures, development of management plan for Ghadames, and training of local professionals in heritage protection techniques, paving the way for future conservation measures.
