Bayfront will be located on the northern part of Al-Khobar’s beach, spanning over 100,000 square meters from the shore and a 1,600-square meter island.

Saudi Arabia‘s Ajdan Real Estate Development Company has signed a contract with Al-Muhaidib Group to develop Bayfront, a lifestyle destination which will also be the kingdom’s first blue flag-certified project.

Bayfront will be located on the northern part of Al-Khobar’s beach, spanning over 100,000 square meters from the shore and a 1,600-square meter island, the company said in an emailed statement.

“The project offers a variety of retail, a mix of upper casual and fine-dining restaurants as well as leisure and recreational features that are suitable for families and visitors to get away and enjoy beach life on the stunning east coast”, Al-Muhaidib Group’s senior portfolio manager Abdul Qadir Al Muhaidib said.

The Blue Flag certification include “stringent international technical and environmental requirements and conditions compatible with the Kingdom’s principles in supporting the environment’s safety and promoting its recreational and tourism credentials,” the statement said.

“We will follow the Blue Flag requirements to increase the quality of services in the project’s facilities and enhance the region’s beach experience by developing an extraordinary destination to attract visitors to Al-Khobar,” Ajdan Real Estate Development Company’s chief executive officer Mohammed Al-Otaibi said.
