The Group
A Saudi investment group, founded on people and built for the long term.
Tara Holding owns and develops companies of character in culture and heritage, technology, and food and hospitality: one group, held to one standard, led from Al Khobar.
01 A word from the Chairman
What is built with patience is the only thing that lasts.
I have spent much of my life walking the old roads of Arabia and reading what they left behind. The lesson of those roads is simple: what endures was built slowly, by people who cared for those who would come after them.
Tara was founded on that lesson. We invest in people first, we build each of our companies to stand on its own name, and we measure our work by the value it leaves in the lives of others.
Our companies work in culture, in technology and in food. They are different crafts with one purpose: a better life for the people they serve.
That is the long view, and it is the only one we take.
02 Our story
Who we are
Tara Holding was formed in 2019 to bring a family of companies and institutions under one roof: one owner, one standard, one long view. Its people carry more than thirty years of experience.
That experience spans heritage and history, urban planning and architecture, design, geographic information systems and technology. Today it lives in three companies, across three sectors.
We invest in the sectors that shape how people live: culture and heritage, technology, and food and hospitality. We take long-term positions, build with the people closest to each market, and measure every company on three things: the people it develops, the returns it earns and the impact it leaves.
Our vision
A better life for a more productive and prosperous humanity, by reimagining industries to improve quality of life.
03 Our pillars
Three pillars guide how we invest, how we grow and what we leave behind.
Investing in people
People are our strongest asset, and the first point at which value is created. We invest in them before all else.
Growing businesses, maximising returns
We develop our companies, raise their efficiency and strengthen their financial growth.
Creating impact
We create value that reaches people and raises their quality of life.
04 The name
Tara, the canyon.
Tara takes its name from an Arabic word for canyon, a landscape of the western Kingdom shaped patiently, layer upon layer.
It is how we build, too: steadily, in layers, and for the long term.
