The Al Areen development is spread over an area of two million square metres, costing over $1 billion (BD378 million) and enhancing the kingdom's reputation as a friendly destination for families, investors and tourists.
The development is a 35-minute drive from Bahrain International Airport, 25 minutes from the centre of Manama and 20 minutes away from King Fahad causeway.
It is adjacent to the Bahrain International Circuit (BIC) and the Al Areen Wildlife Sanctuary.
The Al Areen development aims to transform its distinctive desert location into a diversified range of residential, commercial, hospitality and entertainment settings with major components including the Banyan Tree Desert Spa and Resort, the Lost Paradise of Dilmun Water Park, Sarab Al Areen, Domina Prestige - Al Areen, Al Waha Resort, Downtown Al Areen, Al Areen Medical Centre, Oryx Hills, Sunset Hills, Al Areen Homes and a number of residential villages, entertainment and recreational facilities.
Oryx Hills, the residential component of the Al Areen development, will be spread over around 94,470 sq m and consists of 70 plots of land set in more than 20,000 sq m of landscaped common areas.
Located in the southern end of the Al Areen Development, the Oryx Hills cluster is sited between two valleys and will become a community within a community, taking full advantage of all the amenities at Al Areen. It is a short drive from the Banyan Tree Desert Spa and Resort, the BIC, the Lost Paradise of Dilmun Water Park, Al Areen Wildlife Park and Bahrain University.
The residential community fuses the surrounding wildlife with modern architecture into a contemporary yet simple lifestyle setting.
Access to the villas has been made easy with paved roads finished to a high standard. What makes Oryx Hills unique is its natural features. Designers and architects followed the natural contours of the land and produced asymmetrical streets and olden-day Arabic cities. Purchasers interested in Oryx Hills have the option of choosing from three types of villa designs and although they may be different, they all feature modern architecture with strong Arabesque elements.
