Chairman’s Message
When I founded ALRAIS Holding in 1997, I did not set out to build a large group. I simply wanted to build businesses that people could trust.
We began with Arabian Tea House in the heart of Al Fahidi. Over time, one business became several, and those businesses grew into what is today ALRAIS Holding. While our activities now span multiple sectors and markets, the values behind the first venture remain the same: quality, integrity, and a long term commitment to the people we serve.
As an Emirati business, we take great pride in our heritage and in contributing to the continued growth of the United Arab Emirates. The opportunities this country has provided have shaped our journey, and they continue to inspire our ambitions for the future.
Thank you for taking the time to learn more about our story.
