The Centre has an elegant pre-function foyer for receptions, which leads to a double height ballroom that can be separated into 3 independent conference rooms, each with its own state-of-the-art audio-visual and lighting system. The centre, spread across two floors, also has a Business Centre in the first floor with 6 boardrooms, which is ideal for smaller business meetings and training for up to 50 persons.

'The Hamra Marina & Yacht Clubhouse will provide superb services including two restaurants, fully equipped meeting facility, and 24-hour security and an information counter at the Lobby,' said Elia Timani.
