There will be facilities to suit all ages with something for every member of the family."
Dr. Zakaria emphasized, "The project will be developed to provide an exciting and accessible leisure destination that caters to Bahraini citizens and residents first and foremost, as well as to visitors and tourists. The project places great importance on ensuring that AlJazaair Plage is a resource that is developed for the public."
