He highlighted Samaco Marine’s extensive four-decade track record in developing and managing marinas, underscoring how this expertise will fortify Nawras Marina’s capabilities in delivering a compelling and gratifying maritime experience for its patrons.
Dr. Abdul Qader Abdul Rahman Fakieh, a board member of Tarfeeh Fakieh, emphasized his company’s dedication to enhancing the quality of life in Jeddah through an integrated system that harmonizes entertainment with internationally distinguished tourism services.
Fakieh stated: “We aim to offer a diverse array of entertainment options for Jeddah’s residents and visitors, encompassing restaurants, parks, children’s amusements, and recreational spaces, all of which enrich the tourism landscape. We perceive Nawras Marina as an integral component of this system, which endeavors to position Jeddah as a vibrant and progressive city.”
