Somaliland: Luxury Get Away For Kuwait’s Royal Family

Sheikh, 19 February 2009 (Somalilandpress) — Construction has started on what is expected to be a luxury holiday gateway to Somaliland for Kuwait’s ultra-rich royal family, the Al-Sabah.

The site is east of the mountainous city of Sheikh and is estimated to cover an area of 25 square kilometers (roughly 6100 acres) and will cost more than $3 million to construct the perfect gateway for Kuwait’s royals – it will have it’s own airport, helicopter pad, malls, swimming pools and luxury villas.

The luxury complex is been constructed by a local Somaliland firm – it has provided it’s own engineers, work force and materials. Building luxury villas, airport and complex malls for the royal family will give great boost to little known Somaliland construction companies.

The construction is expected to be completed end of 2009.
