Bahrain’s first purpose-built, 8,000 square metre (m2), pillar-free exhibition facility was inaugurated on 2nd November 1991 with a trade fair called, Rebuild Kuwait.
To augment the Centre’s exhibition space, Hall 2 - with 6,000 m2 of column-free space - was opened in 1999. In addition, a Convention Centre with 1,400 m2 metres of dedicated meeting space was inaugurated in 2003 to address the country’s growing demand for conference facilities.
