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.

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.
