Owner
It was built and financed by the Libyan government at a cost of over 80 million euros. The building has an oval curved facade; like the Burj al Arab, the Yyldyz Hotel, and the Grand Millennium in Sulaymaniyah; it was designed to resemble a ship's sail. It is known as "Gaddafi's Egg" because it is funded by the Libyan government at the time.[1]
