Baghdad — 1997

It began with a thread.

A textile trading house on the banks of the Tigris. Twenty-eight years later — six industries, six countries, one standard.

A diversified holding group

Six industries. One vision.

From Baghdad to Barcelona, Dubai to Istanbul — we build, operate and invest across hospitality, technology, telecommunications, real estate, health and aviation.

The measure

Held to one standard.

Founded in 1997 as a textile-trading company, Sama Al‑Naser has grown into a diversified holding group — resilient, forward-thinking, and quietly consequential across every market it enters.
