The company has signed an agreement with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, acting through the Ministry of Finance (MOF) which issued a guarantee to Banque Saudi Fransi for the purpose of providing the credit facilities to the company.
The funding, provided for a period of 15 years, will be used to complete work on the third phase of the Jabal Omar project. Its tenor will start from the date of signing the facility agreements on 8 March 2021.
The project, which includes four towers with 2,160 rooms and a total commercial area of 26,435m², houses an array of hotels, apartments, residential units, and malls.
Upon completion, it will have a variety of five- and four-star hotels with the capacity to host up to 36,000 guests a year and more than 100,000 visitors during Hajj season.
The Jabal Omar project is also a monumental cluster of hotel operated apartments as well as units.
