The properties, which will see the growth and launch of existing as
well as new TIME Hotel brands to key territories throughout the region, will be

value-driven markets by offering a high-quality experience right across all of
our branded properties.
“We currently have 15 properties in operation across the UAE and wider
GCC with new additions in Dubai, Sharjah and Saudi Arabia scheduled for this
year as well as extending our presence to Egypt - further supporting our
strategic business plan to increase our total portfolio to 35 properties across
the Middle East by the end of 2025.”
TIME Hotels will debut its TIME Express Hotels brand with the opening of

and 24 two-bedroom units – TIME Dammam Residence is located 35 minutes from
King Fahad International Airport and just minutes from various shopping and
dining destinations in Dammam.
Joining TIME Dammam Residence in the kingdom will be TIME Golden Tower

strategically located on Al Khobar Main Street and within close proximity to Al
Khobar Waterfront. The property will feature a roof-top garden lounge, a gym

Located

slides, wave pools and water sport activities.
Awadalla,
said: “This is a very exciting chapter in TIME Hotels’ short history as we open
TIME Nozha Aqua Park & Resort, our first beach resort and first property in
Egypt. Built with leisure and adventure visitors in mind, this resort is
fully-equipped with everything the modern traveller requires for the perfect
family getaway.”
These
scheduled openings follow the signing of a new management agreement by TIME
Hotels Management to operate Dunes Hotel Apartments’ three properties located
throughout Dubai.
TIME
Hotels took over day-to-day operations of TIME Dunes Hotel Apartment Al Barsha,
TIME Dunes Hotel Apartments Al Qusais and TIME Dunes Hotel Apartments Oud Metha
following the signing of the agreement on 24th January 2019.
“It has been a busy year for TIME Hotels with a raft of properties
announced with several of them due to come online within the next 12 months. We
have been very strategic with our openings, identifying and assessing the demand
within the market and implementing the most suitable brand from the TIME
portfolio, that best matches that demand and we’re looking forward to bringing
more properties into our portfolio,” added Awadalla.
TIME Hotels will be exhibiting on stand HC0620 during this year’s Arabian Travel Market.
