>Thirty five years ago Port Ghalib was just a small stretch of uninhabited desert coastline but the Kuwaiti billionaire Nasser El Kharafi (who died in April 2011) invested two billion dollars to turn it into the region’s largest tourist resort and marina complex. Even after many visits to Port Ghalib, I still marvel at the amazing achievement of this highly eccentric business venture. It now covers 18 km of desert coastline and 8 million square metres of desert – that’s vast – it covers almost the same area as all 2,482 Tesco supermarket stores in the United Kingdom combined.
