Bahrain, 14th May 2007: Riffa Views Sales & Marketing Director, Hugh O'Shea, today hosted a special gathering for over 50 members of the International Ladies' Group at Riffa Views. Members of the team treated the ladies of diverse nationalities to the "Riffa Views' experience", which included a visit to the development's luxurious show homes.

The International Ladies' Group, which meets regularly as a forum for networking for the support of charitable causes, was given an overview of the master-planned project including the unique architectural and stunning landscaping designs available in the three Signature Estates - The Oasis, The Lagoons and The Park.

The ladies were given a presentation on Riffa Views golf residential development, where the focus is on the exclusive lifestyle community from which the residents will benefit. They learned that the community will comprise serene landscapes and greenery, walkways with access to the entire development, children's playgrounds, a country club and spa, two mosques and a comprehensive range of amenities including convenient shopping, a world-class educational facility and - naturally - an 18-hole championship golf course.
