Dubai-based Al Habtoor Group is planning to invest in Syria as the nation progresses towards reconstruction and economic recovery. The company’s founding chairman, Khalaf Ahmad Al Habtoor, announced his intention to visit Syria in the coming days to explore potential investment and cooperation opportunities.

Al Habtoor will lead a high-level delegation of senior executives from Al Habtoor Group, which is a diversified business involved in several sectors including hospitality, automotive, car leasing, real estate, education, and publishing. Al Habtoor expressed his optimism about Syria, stating, “Syria is a country rich in culture, history and capable people. We believe in its future potential and are eager to play a role in its revival through meaningful projects that generate employment.”

He added that the company views Syria “with great confidence,” highlighting the energy and resilience of its people. Al Habtoor emphasized the importance of the group’s involvement, saying that as an Arab group with regional roots, they feel a moral and economic responsibility to contribute to the rebuilding of stable and thriving societies.

Before Al Habtoor’s visit, a team of senior officials from the company will arrive in Damascus to conduct preliminary exploratory studies and meet with relevant authorities. This step is part of their efforts to assess the investment landscape in Syria and identify viable projects.
