TIME Hotels has taken over operations of Dunes Hotel Apartments’ three properties located in Al Barsha, Al Qusais and Oud Metha – This will lead TIME portfolio to grow to 20 properties by 2020.

TIME Hotels took over day-to-day operations of the properties following the signing of a management agreement on 24th January 2019 in Dubai between Mohamed Awadalla, CEO, TIME Hotels and Abdallah Mohamed Jaber Al Harbi, Owner, Dunes Hotel Apartments.

Commenting on the new management agreement, TIME Hotels CEO, Mohamed Awadalla, said: “Our partnership with Dunes Hotel Apartments further reinforces our growth strategy to expand our footprint in the UAE with further openings in Dubai, and Sharjah, as well as other properties across the region in Saudi Arabia and Egypt – taking our total portfolio to 20 properties by the end of 2020.
