Commenting on the sales, Butti Khalifa bin Darwish, CEO, DIB, said: "The enthusiastic response from buyers for our maiden venture in Lebanon has exceeded our expectations. It has also encouraged us to devise further innovative projects, which will enable us to offer exciting investment opportunities for our clients. We would like to thank investors for their continued trust in and support of DIB investments and projects."

Matal Al Qamar, which means 'First Sight of the Moon', comprises freehold residential units, set in a strategic location in the Quernayel Falougha area in Lebanon. The location is just 36km from Beirut and connected to the city by three major highways. The complex offers a luxurious lifestyle with several common facilities including a mini golf course, tennis courts, health club, swimming pool, a pet zoo and park.


To showcase the project, a dedicated sales centre has been set up at the Fairmont Hotel, Dubai. The exhibition is open to investors until today, by which time all the remaining individual properties are expected to be sold.

"The project offering and financial facilities offered by the DIB at competitive profit margins have played a tremendous role in generating investor excitement and we are confident that the era of end to end project management is finally taking root in the Middle East," said Mr. Butti Khalifa bin Darwish.
