Built on Experience. Driven by Vision.
Since 1999, our leadership has helped shape the region’s retail landscape — now we’re building the future.
The Rajab Group is a privately held investment and development firm with deep roots in international retail brand expansion across the Middle East.
With over two decades of hands-on experience, our leadership has been directly involved in launching and scaling globally recognised brands — including Massimo Dutti, Burberry, La Martina, Sacoor Brothers, and luxury fashion houses under Villa Moda Kuwait, such as Marc Jacobs, Chloé, Céline, Loewe, and Marni — across key markets like Dubai and Kuwait.
We bring a nuanced understanding of franchise operations, regional market dynamics, and brand stewardship at the highest level. Our focus is on partnering with international brands to expand into high-growth, underrepresented markets through tailored franchise and licensing strategies.

We help identify high-traffic, brand-appropriate locations, recruit and train local teams, and oversee a smooth operational setup.
Operational support & local adaptation
We ensure seamless day-to-day execution and brand consistency while adapting to local tastes, culture, and regulation.
