Dibben Resort

Project Overview

Dibben Resort is a high-end, integrated hospitality development located within a rural, forested and mountainous setting in Jerash. The approximately 248,865 m² development includes hotel accommodation, villas, spa and wellness facilities, recreational areas, food and beverage outlets, a banquet pavilion, and supporting facilities, with approximately 20,148 m² of gross built-up area. The study aimed to assess the external traffic impact of the development and establish an efficient and sustainable internal mobility strategy integrating private vehicles, pedestrians, electric buggies, service vehicles, and emergency access. Particular focus was given to creating a pedestrian-oriented resort environment while addressing the mobility challenges associated with the site's mountainous terrain. Our company prepared the Traffic and Mobility Assessment, evaluating access and egress conditions, development traffic, parking demand, pedestrian circulation, and internal mobility requirements. The study also assessed electric buggy demand and fleet requirements, including cycle times, passenger capacity, and expected waiting times, and established an appropriate mobility strategy for the resort. The assessment considered the development characteristics, existing rural road network, available traffic data, projected development traffic, parking demand, and internal mobility requirements. The proposed mobility strategy prioritises pedestrian movement and efficient electric buggy operations, supported by continuous pedestrian connections, controlled vehicle speeds, and safe interaction between pedestrians and buggies. The strategy also addresses the site's challenging topography, including gradients, visibility, curves, accessibility, and changes in level, supporting a safe and efficient resort mobility environment.
