Summary

Ghadames, a UNESCO World Heritage Site in Libya's Sahara, stands as a remarkable example of cultural landscape heritage with its exceptional urban fabric and unique architectural design. However, the site faces significant challenges, including tenant abandonment and official neglect, despite its historic significance and potential for socio-economic development. The study highlights Ghadames' role as a model for cultural pride and economic growth in the Middle East but emphasizes the urgent need for a robust heritage conservation strategy to address current issues. The research employs a review and assessment approach to identify these challenges and propose planning solutions, aiming to revitalize the site's significance and contribution to regional development.
