Established in 2019 through the strategic partnership of Sheikh Ali Thamer E. T. Al-Thani and Mr. Famous Aluya, Oryx Group was founded with a shared vision of redefining service excellence through innovation, professionalism, integrity, and customer-focused solutions.

Today, Oryx Group has evolved into a trusted partner for government institutions, diplomatic missions, multi-national corporations, educational institutions, international organizations, private enterprises, and individual clients in Qatar and across Africa.

Our multi-disciplinary expertise spans corporate and social event management, travel and tourism services, corporate training, diverse destination management, and services.

From concept development and strategic planning to execution and post-project evaluation, we manage every aspect of our services with meticulous attention to detail, ensuring each project is delivered efficiently, professionally, and in full compliance with Qatar's regulatory framework and international best practices, whilst ensuring client satisfaction and a memorable experience.

Guided by our brand promise, "Africa's Gateway to Qatar," we proudly serve as a strategic bridge connecting Africa with Qatar by facilitating comprehensive, end-to-end solutions in all our business services and collaborations.

Having lived in Qatar for over 15 years, I have witnessed the nation's remarkable evolution into one of the world's most dynamic destinations for business, tourism, and global events. This journey has reinforced my strong belief in Qatar National Vision 2030 and in the exceptional leadership of His Highness the Amir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, whose vision continues to drive sustainable growth, innovation, and international confidence, and shapes a future of opportunities and excellence.

At Oryx Group Events & Tourism, we transform this national ambition into measurable value for investors, corporate clients, and discerning travellers. Our expertise spans MICE solutions, destination management, luxury travel, and bespoke event delivery, supported by deep local knowledge, strategic partnerships, and international service standards. We design and execute experiences that are commercially sound, operationally seamless, and globally competitive.

Qatar today represents a prime destination for business, leisure, global engagement, and opportunity, for investment, collaboration, and exceptional experiences. I invite investors, organisations, and travellers to engage with Oryx Group Events & Tourism and discover how we can unlock Qatar's full potential, delivering experiences that inspire confidence, elevate brands, and create lasting impact.
