Acknowledgment:
It is the 14th of June, spring 2012, the day that all the students are waiting for since
they register for their first course in the university. Everyone is asking for my feeling at
the moment I’m hanging my senior project, I can’t describe what I feel because there
are a mixture of contrary feelings and expressions, Happy, Tired, Sad, Relaxed,
Confused. One of my doctors used to say at the end of each of his lectures, “Good
times doesn’t last long”. Today a fruitful and unforgettable journey reaches its end, the
end of five archived intensive years that will open the doors for a bright future.
I would not have reaches the level I have reached throughout these years without
the precious people I have in my life who never hesitated to provide their knowledge,
help, and their wide experience. “Thank YOU” is the common word to thank, but for
me what my beloved parents, sincere professors, and true-hearted friends and their
family provided, this word will never be enough for what they have done and gave. My
dearest new family, although the happiness is filling me for graduating, but leaving you
is what don’t complete this happiness. I am going to miss every moment we shared in
its better and worse, you are living in me and will never leave.
Please forgive me for prolongation, I will conclude with a big “THANK YOU” from
a girl who is very proud to be your one of your students one day.
Your sincere Student, Daughter and Friend,,

Preface:
Sport is a key for a healthy living. After analyzing the site location and it surroundings,
with the nature of the project that should attract tourists from all over the world , as well as
to match Al-Wakra future vision, it was found that a sports facility will be a hot spot for the
tourists especially when it is blended with other complementary projects. A sport facility in
such area will revive the area that is usually used as a passage way for different users.
According to the future vision of this area, an Economic zone will be right behind the
chosen site, where the interested staff level is the businessmen and seniors and sports is
usually one of their interests. One more supporting goal is what our Prophet Mohamed
asked us to do, “ teach your children swimming, shooting and horseback riding”.
“Islamic Trio”, is the project name, where it combines the three Islamic sports: Archery,
Equestrian and swimming. The design passed through several phases as different aspects
and considerations should be followed, and also program recommendations affected the
design too.
The report will provide an overlook about the project goal and vision, design phases and
the final product.
