The Khamas family story began over two centuries ago — rooted in the trade routes, pearl diving traditions, and merchant spirit of the Arabian Gulf. From the sands of the early Emirates to the skyline of modern Dubai, each generation carried the torch of enterprise, honour, and vision forward. Today, Salah Khamas Group stands as the living expression of that unbroken legacy — a diversified conglomerate spanning Media, Technology, AI, Cybersecurity, Real Estate, and Industrial Solutions, built on a foundation two hundred years in the making.
The Khamas family story mirrors the UAE's own extraordinary transformation — from desert trade routes and pearl diving traditions to a global hub of innovation, technology, and enterprise. Discover how our family walked every step of that journey.
Each chapter of our story unfolded alongside the nation we call home.
The Khamas family rose as prominent merchants along the Arabian Gulf coast — navigating pearl diving routes, cross-regional trade, and the foundational commerce that shaped the early Emirates. Their name became synonymous with integrity and enduring enterprise.
The United Arab Emirates was founded on December 2nd, 1971 — uniting seven emirates under one flag. The Khamas family, already established merchants in the region, witnessed the birth of a nation that would become the world's most ambitious transformation story.
Salah Khamas Group was formally established in Dubai — the same city that was rapidly transforming into a global financial and trade hub. The timing was no coincidence; the group was built to ride and shape the wave of the UAE's meteoric rise.
As Dubai launched its e-Government initiative and the UAE embraced digital transformation, Salah Khamas Group expanded into technology and enterprise solutions — positioning itself at the heart of the nation's digital ambitions with 20+ enterprise clients from day one.
As the UAE embarked on its most ambitious infrastructure projects — from Expo 2020 preparations to mega-developments — Quest Qualitas was established to supply the heavy machinery and industrial solutions powering this construction renaissance across the Middle East and East Africa.
As the UAE positioned itself as a global AI hub — launching the world's first Ministry of Artificial Intelligence — Salah Khamas Group launched dedicated AI and Cybersecurity divisions. The group was not just witnessing the UAE's transformation; it was actively building the infrastructure that protects and powers it.
As the UAE charts its course toward UAE Vision 2031, Salah Khamas Group stands ready — leading smart city initiatives, AI-driven solutions, advanced cybersecurity frameworks, and expanding our media and technology footprint across 15+ countries. Two centuries of heritage. One unstoppable future.
We did not just watch the UAE transform. We were part of it — building, investing, and innovating alongside a nation that dared to dream without limits.
