Quara Holding: Investing in the Future
The future belongs to those who can see its opportunities.
Quara Holding is committed to turning these opportunities into reality, not only for today but for generations to come.
A VISION THAT STARTED WITH PURPOSE
In 1994, visionary founder Yousef bin Abdullah Al Shelash, together with a team of forward-thinking leaders, established Quara Holding with a singular mission:
To create a strategic ecosystem connecting three powerful industries
(real estate, finance, and technology).
This vision laid the foundation for what is now one of the Kingdom’s most dynamic investment groups.



A DIVERSIFIED GLOBAL ECOSYSTEM
From its first major investment in Dar Al Arkan, now one of Saudi Arabia’s largest real estate developers, Quara Holding has expanded its portfolio into financial services, mortgage, insurance, technology, and beyond.
Every investment is strategically designed to drive sustainable growth and deliver meaningful value to stakeholders.
Today, Quara Holding’s investments span five industries across diverse markets, powered by a strong asset base
and robust liquidity.
Our entities continue to grow consistently, guided by a consumer-centric approach and a deep commitment
to innovation.
We believe in building businesses that shape the future—integrating industries from real estate and banking
to cutting-edge technology solutions.
PROSPERITY ROOTED IN INNOVATION
As the physical and digital worlds converge, Quara Holding remains focused on investing in smart,
future-ready solutions.
This forward-looking mindset is at the core of every venture we pursue.
