Our journey to what we represent and what we are today as the Shanfari Group may have begun nearly 35 years ago, but there has always been one agenda constant in our endeavors – The growth and development of Oman. I am pleased to say that The Shanfari Group has stayed steadfast to its ideals and along with me, every member of the Shanfari Group starts each day, proud of our contributions to Oman. A drive to excel, that of course, would never have been possible without the continuing encouragement and support of His Majesty Sultan Qaboos Bin Said, Ruler of Oman.

As long as we work together with the same drive that has taken us forward since the early 1960’s, The Shanfari Group will only conquer more challenges and continue to raise the bar in every industry it ventures into.

Finally, I would like to thank everyone in the Shanfari Group and look forward to working together, to conquer newer frontiers and achieve greater success in the future.

Heritage

The Shanfari Group, one of the most reputed establishments today, had its humble beginnings in Salalah, Oman in 1960. It all began when His Excellency Sheikh Said Bin Ahmed Al Shanfari, a man of great vision, chose to start a small trading company and become one of the first traders in Oman. Taking advantage of the developmental climate in Oman then, he soon diversified into construction and infrastructure development. A critical decision that saw the Company grow with Oman!

Building on this rich heritage at The Shanfari Group is a new generation with new ideas led by the vibrant Dr. Adil Bin Said Al Shanfari. However, it is a team, whose ideals and focus to contribute to the development of Oman, unwaveringly, remains the same.
