Saudi Arabia has always been one of the most important countries where we are honored to expand our projects, and we wanted to begin in a prime location with an experienced and leading partner such as Jabal Omar Development Company, which developed this hotel—one of the finest in Makkah, one of the holiest cities in the world. Through our exceptional services, we will be able to care for the guests of the Sacred House of God and provide a high standard of luxury service, so that our guests can perform their religious rituals in a unique spiritual environment.”
