The unique Al Areen development that costs over $1 billion US Dollars 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.

This mixed-use health, residential and family tourism development project concept rests on developing a two-million square meter desert area into a diversified range of health, residential, Commercial, hospitality, recreational and entertainment components.

Al Areen Holding Company was formed in July 2004 as a joint stock company owned by the Government of Bahrain, Gulf Finance House BSC and strategic regional investors. A team of leading professionals has been brought together to bring the dream of Al Areen to reality.
