During the past three years, the SESAME machine design has been optimised gradually taking into consideration the users demand in the Middle East region. The earlier design concept was to upgrade BESSY I to an energy of 1GeV, now SESAME is a 2.5GeV 3rd generation light source. A recent design review has recommended changing the machine lattice and layout to give greater flexibility for future upgrading and modification, the longest possible beam lines and the longest possible insertion devices, all of that with the limitation of the space available for the machine within the building. By shifting the machine by 6m from the centre of the building (in one direction) it was possible to increase the circumference of the storage ring by 3.6m into 128.4m and beam lines with lengths of 37.7m achieved, while the longest beam line in the old design was only 33.1m, this also increased the total length of the beam lines from 378.2m in the old design into 391.0m. An outline of these optimisations with their influence on the machine output is presented here. Furthermore the beam dynamics, the design of the main components of the storage ring and the first set of beam lines will be discussed.
