Managed by the Ministry of Culture, Youth and Community Development, the theatre houses a 2,253 seater auditorium with a stage and state-of-the-art lighting, sound and film equipment. It also incorporates a lecture and conference hall which can accommodate 150 people, and a multi-purpose hall for arts and crafts exhibitions.

The contemporary designed Cultural Centre, which is an annex to the National Theatre, hosts cultural and artistic activities. It also includes a conference and seminar hall with a capacity of 90 people and two exhibition halls which displays 100 paintings, sculptures and other works of art by UAE artists.
