Success Story of Al-Siddiqi Projects

The roots of Al Siddiqi Group’s go back to the 1940s, when the father, Abdullah Al Siddiqi Al Emadi, established his famous store in Souq Waqif under the name Al Siddiqi Store. The business began at that time with importing, wholesale distribution, and retail sales, including women’s supplies and various types of fabrics. Through the sons’ direct involvement in the business, they gained extensive experience and high-level business skills that laid the foundation for an exceptional journey of success.
In the early 1980s, the first branch of Al-Motahajiba was launched in the Souq area in Central Doha. Within a few years, the business expanded to include several branches across Qatar, making the name Al-Motahajiba synonymous with the finest Gulf abayas in terms of design and quality. As the brand solidified its position locally, the company ventured into Gulf markets, starting with the United Arab Emirates across all its emirates, followed by Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and the Sultanate of Oman. Owning the largest and most advanced factory for women’s abayas and Shawls in the Gulf, Al- Motahajiba expanded into the Egyptian market at the beginning of the second millennium, opening several branches in various cities.
The success of Al-Motahajiba coincided with other parallel achievements, Al-Saqaya and Al-Saqaya for Children were established, specialized in women’s supplies, accessories, footwear, and children’s clothing. In addition, Al-Shal Trading Company was founded, specializing in importing men’s fabrics as well as manufacturing and selling the Qatari Thobe and its accessories, such as the Ghutra, Agal, Veil, Sandals, Perfumes, and Incense.
After establishing their position in the clothing sector, the brothers expanded into the hospitality and restaurant industry by launching a group of prestigious brands, including: the Italian restaurant Biella, the Lebanese restaurant Wafi Jourieh in Qatar and Bahrain, the Asian restaurant Noodle House, the Turkish restaurant Sutish, and the Arabic restaurant Maysoun, in the prime locations and shopping malls.
In addition, real estate activity began to grow gradually since the late 1980s, through the establishment of a contracting company and a building material trading company, later developing into investment in residential and commercial complexes and towers inside and outside Qatar, including the UAE, Jordan, Turkey and England.

After more than 35 years of hard work and achievement, the group moved towards specialization in management, as the sectors were organized under independent entities.

Al-Siddiqi Holding: includes all Al- Motahajiba stores and Ansh Factory for women’s clothing.
Al-Siddiqi Hospitality: Manages all restaurant and cafe activities.
Al-Siddiqi Projects: Manages and develops all real estate investments.

Under the umbrella of Al-Siddiqi Projects, companies were established to support and complement the real estate activity, including: Kawader Company, which specializes in hospitality services and cleaning work for homes, palaces and institutions, and Abdullah Al-Emadi Trading Group, which specializes in modern lighting solutions, as the exclusive agent and distributor of the international brand in Qatar Lighting Norway Europe (LYS).
