Video Interview withOussama El Omari
RAK Tourism
Hilary McCormack Manager of Ras Al Khaimah Tourism Read more – RAK Tourism Well RAK Tourism differs in the sense that RAK Tourism is a much smaller destination and therefore RAK Tourism is not looking for the mass tourism or following mass tourism as part of how we develop tourism within the emirate. The emirate is one hour north of Dubai, it sits on the coast line, it has 64 kilometers of virgin beach, much of which is not developed at this point, it has got its own mountain range, called the Al Hajar Mountains, which goes from Ras Al Khaymah north into Oman
Eng. Sultan Al-Mualla
Vice Director General of Sharjah Municipality Sharjah we are trying to keep our city Islamic and more traditional, we have a lot of museums and aquariums for example which keep this feel. We are joining culture and modernity in this city.
Bishoy Azmy
CEO of Al Shafar General ContractingYou said “The UAE’s construction industry is presently valued at more than a trillion dollars and even as we speak new projects are being planned and announced.”
Robert Lee
Nakheel Managing Director for investment projects of Nakheel The universe is our future. That is basically our plan for the future as to what’s coming next. It is a new waterfront development or community that is going to be 10-15 years down the road. What’s important is that it’s showing the grand master plan: what’s possible and where there’s more and in that spirit we’re saying look: this is what is coming up, this is how we are solving some of the issues and this is how it’s going to look like as sharing our grand master plan.
Dr. Sulaiman Al Fahim
CEO of Hydra PropertiesThe way Abu Dhabi is growing is by supporting the industrial zones and cities, by improving the ports, creating new university cities and media cities; that will support the real estate. We are going to see how Abu Dhabi will be for the next ten years; the prices are going to go up and appreciate. Also, demand won’t match supply; there will be much more demand than supply.
Tirad Mahmoud
CEO of Abu Dhabi Islamic BankWe have been successful in differentiating ourselves from the others. We don’t emphasise transactions with customers, we emphasise relationships with customers. The customers know the difference. When they deal with a bank that is focused entirely on them and their needs, they feel and appreciate it, as opposed to when you are dealing with a customer for the purpose of selling that customer a specific product.
Emirates Palace, Leading Luxury Hotel in Abu Dhabi
Hans Olbertz, General Manager of Emirates Palace Another point is that the Emirates Palace has been operated by Kempinski Hotels and Resort, a very established hotel company. At present we have 59 hotels around the world and in the next 2 years we will open another 40. With the network Kempinski we promote the Emirates Palace in our portfolio, plus with all our partners and that in itself is a great deal. I think the destination is much better known then before. Naturally with the destination comes the Emirates Palace.
RAK Petroleum, Petroleum Company in RAK
Alain Duport, General Manager of RAK Petroleum RAK Petroleum present portfolio does not have significant oil prospects, because, as you say, the exploration that has been done is shallow exploration for RAK Petroleum. But for deep gas prospects, because there was no incentive previously to drill these prospects, the exploration is not yet completed and seems optimistic for RAK Petroleum.
Merwiss Azizi
Founder and Chairman of Azizi InvestmentsFirst, thank you very much. My story is that I left Afghanistan in 1988. At that time there was a war with the Russian army inside Afghanistan.
