Al Areen
The unique Al Areen development that costs over $1.3 billion and spread over an area of 2 million square meters furthers Bahrain's reputation as a friendly destination for family and health-oriented tourists. The development is a 35-minute drive from the Bahrain International Airport, 25 minutes away from the city centre of Manama and 20 minutes away from King Fahad causeway. It is adjacent to the Bahrain International Circuit (BIC), the Middle East's first ever Grand Prix circuit and the Al Areen Wildlife Sanctuary.
Drawing upon the wealth of Bahrain’s long and distinguished past, the Al Areen gives you an opportunity to experience the legacy of the country’s rich and varied history, while maintaining the comfort and convenience of modern living.
The mission of the Al Areen development project is to transform its distinctive desert location area into a diversified range of residential, commercial, health and hospitality, and entertainment components. Major components of the development include the Banyan Tree Desert Spa and Resort, The “”Lost Paradise of Dilmun” Water Park, Sarab Al Areen, Domina Prestige - Al Areen, Al Waha Resort, Downtown Al Areen, Al Areen Medical Centre, Oryx Hills, Sunset Hills, Al Areen Homes, and a number of residential villages, entertainment and recreational facilities.
A buffer zone shall be created along the boundary between the Al Areen development and the Al Areen Wildlife Sanctuary. This zone, the Linear Park, will be landscaped and visitors can watch the wildlife from there, while enjoying a leisurely stroll along a strategically laid pathway.
The momentum behind Al Areen is growing as investors are attracted to the exciting project’s diverse nature and commercial potential. In just a few years, the Al Areen development will become the jewel in the crown of the Kingdom’s real estate and leisure development.
