Durrat Al Bahrain exhibits in Qatar at Q-REX 2007

This is the Second time that Durrat Al Bahrain has marketed the US$4 billion island based lifestyle development directly to prospective investors in Qatar. The exhibition will attract real estate professionals and investors from across the region and the world to consider the latest real estate trends and investment opportunities in the Qatari and regional market.

When completed, Durrat Al Bahrain will comprise 11 islands of luxury villas, a five star hotel island, as well as the crescent, which will represent the commercial heart of Durrat Al Bahrain. Announced only a few weeks ago, the development will also boast an Ernie Els designed 18 hole championship golf precinct. With its innovative design, including water ways and green space, and with many of its 1400 villas fronting onto the course itself, an entire lifestyle community will be created. In addition, Durrat Al Bahrain will also design and build one of the region's leading marinas, with 400 berths, in partnership with Tameer.

Mr. Jassim Al Jowder, CEO of Durrat Al Bahrain, said,

"This is a great time to be exhibiting the unique offer of Durrat Al Bahrain in Doha. With the new causeway between the countries on the way and increasing co-operation between Bahrain and Qatar, now is a good time for investors to see the possibilities of Durrat Al Bahrain's island based urban lifestyle. No other regional development offers the combination of contemporary city living with the relaxed atmosphere of island living. And in just a few years, all of this will be only a few hours drive away from Qatar."

"We received extremely positive feedback from our recent exhibition at Cityscape Abu Dhabi. People are impressed with the uniqueness of the development as well as its ambition. Recent exhibitions at MIPIM in Cannes, France, and Riyadh have also generated very good responses. We're confident that Durrat Al Bahrain will attract the same amount of interest at Q-REX 2007 in Doha."
