Zawiyat Al Bayda' (also transliterated as Al-Baidhah, El-Beda or Beida) (Arabic: البيضاء) is a city in northeast Libya. Built in the 1950s, the town was originally intended to be the new capital of Libya, and all of the necessary government buildings were constructed there. Eventually, the plan to move the capital from Tripoli to Al Beyda' was dropped.
