Millet Engineering Bureau, the firm overseeing the design and implementation of the 'Sama Bay' project on the Galali waterfront, announced that the second phase has surpassed 90% completion and is on track for full delivery in the near future. According to the Bureau, the initial phase of 'Sama Bay' covered a total area of 75,000 square meters in a prime coastal location. This phase introduced a vibrant mix of facilities including 14 retail units with flexible leasing options, 14 food trucks integrated within an open-air service zone, and two fully equipped public beaches designed to accommodate recreational and leisure activities. Additionally, the development features a 1.5-kilometer promenade that seamlessly links the various components of the project, offering both a sporting and leisurely experience. The phase also introduced 'Al Nakheel Premium,' a state-of-the-art open-air fitness Gym nestled in a natural environment, alongside multiple sports amenities such as a football field, padel courts, and a variety of outdoor seating areas distributed throughout designated relaxation and social zones. The second and final phase of the project significantly elevates the waterfront experience through the addition of six architecturally distinct buildings with direct sea views, each designed to accommodate two restaurants. Together, these twelve venues will offer a diverse array of dining experiences, thoughtfully curated to appeal to a wide range of tastes and culinary preferences. Dr. Salman Alghatam, General Manager of Millet Engineering, stated that work on 'Sama Bay' has progressed in alignment with the project's master schedule and in accordance with the highest engineering and quality standards. Dr. Alghatam added, 'In a remarkably short span, the project has emerged as a flagship destination for tourism, recreation, and lifestyle activities, drawing widespread interest from Muharraq residents, citizens, and international visitors alike. Its strategic coastal setting, combined with thoughtfully designed spaces, offers a seamless and enriching experience that meets a broad spectrum of interests while delivering outstanding quality and comfort.' said Dr. Alghatam remarked that since the launch of the first phase, 'Sama Bay' has attracted strong visitor engagement and served as a venue for major public events such as Bahrain Sports Day, affirming its role as a dynamic hub for wellness and community life.
The second phase represents a pivotal advancement, introducing an exclusive array of seaside dining venues designed to deliver exceptional culinary experiences in an idyllic setting. These additions are set to further elevate the project's profile as a signature destination and a driver of both tourism and economic growth, in alignment with Bahrain's Tourism Strategy 2022–2026 and the national development goals outlined in Economic Vision 2030.
