The Arena, which boasts 14 metre high ceilings and over 9,000 square metres of covered exhibition space, has the capacity to hold concerts for over 10,000 guests in an air conditioned, all-weather environment. With space for up to 34 regulation size tennis courts, the Arena will be able to host a variety of events including weddings, concerts, entertainment events and official sporting and athletic events.

Commenting on the progress of the expansion, Helal Saeed Almarri, CEO of DWTC, said “One of DWTC’s core strengths has always been its ability to support the changing needs of the region’s MICE sector. We have seen substantial growth in a number of key shows held at our venue during the first half of 2009 and the demand for world class facilities has clearly risen.”
