The lands extend to 3.7 million sq meters in total and are located at Sakhir, Bahrain in close proximity to the Formula 1 Circuit and the University of Bahrain. The area is linked to Manama by a main highway.

The site has operated as the National Racecourse since its founding in 1977 and this will continue under privatisation.
