Cypriot construction firm Cybroc, the company behind the Riffa Views residential golf development in Manama, is to build Bahrain’s new BD16.2m (US$43m) state-of-the-art national amphitheatre.

The company inked a deal the Works Ministry in Manama yesterday that will see the 1000-seat venue with various multi-purpose halls built by July 2012.

The venue will be located north of the Bahrain National museum lake and will cover an area of just under 12,000m².

"The project is designed according to world architectural standards," Works Minister in charge of Electricity and Water Authority (EWA) Fahmi Al Jowder told local newspaper Gulf Daily News, adding that the Tender Board had been swift and efficient in settling the financial and technical requirements of the tendering process.
