The establishment of our firm coincided with the commencement of that extraordinary phase of development in Dubai which catapulted the emirate into the limelight and marked the beginning of its remarkable journey establishing itself as the prime investment and tourist destination in the region. Al Baha gained immence expreince and enhanced its expertise manifold during this phase and has since emerged as one of UAE’s leading consultancies.

During its 45 years of existence, Al Khoory Group has established itself as a reliable and committed conglomerate with diverse and proven excellence in all of the major fields, including real estate, hospitality, trading, automobiles and manufacturing.
