(01) Specifications
Grand Auditorium, in detail
With 3,200 fixed seats, the Grand Auditorium is the largest fixed-seating auditorium in the GCC, built for congress plenaries, concerts, national ceremonies and premieres.
Every seat faces one stage, so a keynote feels as direct as a recital. Because the auditorium shares a building with the halls, ballrooms and meeting rooms, a full congress can run under one roof.
