About the Group

Founded in Yemen in 2007 and now headquartered in Dammam, Saudi Arabia, the Group has developed a portfolio of businesses across eight countries. Our interests span hospitality, retail, real estate, agriculture, and trade.

Foundation and background

From our beginnings to new markets

Hadramout Investment Group was founded in the Republic of Yemen in 2007. Since then, we have developed business interests across several markets, guided by a commitment to growth and an understanding of local opportunities.

We take a long-term approach to investment, considering each opportunity’s commercial potential, local market conditions, and the relationships needed to support its growth. This approach guides the development of our existing businesses and our assessment of new investments.

Our portfolio brings together businesses serving different customers and markets. Across the Group, we focus on building capable teams, making sound decisions, and developing strong relationships.

We believe lasting growth begins with strong businesses and committed people.

Chairman’s Message

Adel Muhammad Al-Samadi

عادل محمد الصمدي

Our journey began in Yemen with an ambition to build businesses and pursue new opportunities. Since then, Hadramout Investment Group has grown across markets and sectors, supported by the dedication of our people and the trust of our customers and partners.

Over the years, I have learned that growth requires patience, sound judgment, and a willingness to adapt. Every market brings its own opportunities and challenges, and every business depends on people who understand their customers and care about the quality of their work.

I am proud of the teams and businesses that make up our Group. Their commitment has helped us respond to change, develop our portfolio, and build relationships in the communities where we operate. I am equally grateful to our customers and partners for the confidence they have placed in us.

Looking ahead, our ambition is to establish Hadramout Investment Group among the world’s leading investment groups. We will pursue this by strengthening our existing businesses, investing in our people, and carefully assessing opportunities that align with our experience and long-term goals.

On behalf of the Group, I thank everyone who has contributed to our journey. I look forward to building on what we have achieved and pursuing the opportunities ahead together.
