Venues that set the stage
We boast a variety of world-class event spaces tailored to create unforgettable experiences. Through our joint venture partnership with OVG Middle East, we manage some of the region’s most iconic sport and entertainment venues and work with our partners to develop world-class facilities.
Each of our spaces is designed to host a mix of high-energy events, iconic performances, and intimate gatherings, and our offerings include sprawling outdoor venues and cutting-edge indoor arenas. With advanced facilities, individualised services and prime locations, these spaces set the stage for moments that inspire, and connect.
Our extensive experience makes us fully qualified to manage, oversee and monetise these (and other) event spaces with our focus being on maximising their potential.
Managing an event space is about far more than unlocking the gates on event day – it’s about ensuring the venue is always ready to deliver out-of-this-world experiences. Our teams oversee the day-to-day operation and upkeep of the space, managing everything from facilities, security and safety protocols to technical infrastructure, guest services and vendor coordination.
Their role is to create a seamless, functional environment that can adapt to different types of events, while maintaining the highest standards of efficiency, reliability, F&B and hospitality. In short, they are the guardians of the venue, making sure every event has the perfect stage to succeed.
