Useful takeaways from this story.

Sahara Arena is a new multipurpose venue located beside Murouj and the Sahara Golf Club, positioned for small-to-mid-size events.

The venue’s first public event is the Kuwait International Hunting, Falcons & Camping Exhibition, running through October 3.

Expected pinch point is vehicle access: one designated entry and exit that could create congestion, though extra parking is available outside the main gate for those who can walk.

The useful part

Sahara Just Opened a New Event Arena – 2:48AM Skip to the content Close Menu Sahara just launched a new multipurpose venue yesterday which they're calling Sahara Arena. The new venue s located beside Murouj and the Sahara Golf Club (Google Maps) and is capable of hosting concerts, sporting events, weddings, exhibitions and even equestrian events. Their first exhibition opened a couple of days ago and is the Kuwait International Hunting, Falcons & Camping Exhibition (@kuwaitoutdoorexpo).

How it works

  • I passed by this morning to check the venue out, and my first impression is that it's going to be a good addition to the local events scene.
  • It's not as big as The Arena at 360 Mall and I think it's even smaller than the smaller halls at Kuwait International Fairground in Mishref, which is why I think it will do well.
  • I guess it could technically also be possible to host booths on the top floor to the ones below.
  • Their website states they have 2,000 parking spots, with 250 being VIP spaces, and they also offer valet.
  • I got to the exhibition around 10AM when they opened, and by the time I left 30 minutes later, I'd guess around 70-80% of the parking was filled (not including VIP area which was empty).

What to take from it

I think the bigger issue might be the fact that there is one way in and one way out of the arena area, which will probably be the main choke point. If you're willing to walk, though, there are plenty of additional parking spots outside the main gate. If you want to check out the venue, the current exhibition is going on until October 3.

Details worth keeping

The size gives smaller events a nice new modern venue to use.
