Hamdan Sports Complex

A huge sports center with swimming being the main attraction. It features an Olympic size swimming pool, an Olympic standards diving pool, a stadium, a big training pool, and a decent gym. It’s open for public access for a fee with option to pay for daily, weekly, monthly, or annual access. For pool usage, you must book a lane in advance via their WhatsApp.

I had an a wonderful experience at Hamdan Sports Complex during the opening of Endurance Hub at 2nd floor last month. The swimming pool at the ground floor was amazingly clean and so were the washrooms and changing rooms - very spacious. Plenty of parking for guests. I would highly recommend everyone to visit HSC and more so the Endurance Hub on 2nd floor, for strength sessions, lactate profile testing, compression boots, cold plunge among many other services available therein.

What a lovely spot! Large 50 meter swimming pool, gym amenities, sauna, steam room, ice bath and hot tub. Staff and security were all super friendly and helpful. It's a great and healthy way to spend a few hours on a Sunday morning to unwind and recharge.

This is a very nice facility, but make sure you have snacks as they don't have a lot of food available. We did a big fencing tournament there, and I got a bronze medal which was very exciting. The facility is set up for large swimming events, but they cover the whole floor for other events, like ours. It has a lot of spectator seating, but you can't really get to it straight from the performance floor, you have to go out into the corridor and up the stair or elevator. The facility is also far away from the downtown City, so you will have to take Uber or Drive.
