The Al-Ali Group Holdings story began in 2016 when Ali (the Founder), driven by a passion for ethical business practices and a desire to contribute positively to society, decided to venture into entrepreneurship.
His primary motivation was to empower every member of society to reach their full potential, ultimately fostering a happy, peaceful, and harmonious community. After careful consideration, Ali chose “Al-Ali Group Holdings” as the name for his business endeavor. The name, derived from Arabic, signifies the highest and most elevated, also representing one of the names of God.

His business operations were unlawfully halted, and his mortgaged house was sold. Additionally, his car was stolen. Despite these challenges, Ali remained undeterred. Drawing strength from his convictions, he mobilized resources from within his family to reignite his business with a renewed mission: to forge a new and better world.
