MUSCAT : Capitalizing on the strong relationship between Oman and the United Arab Emirates, Al Adrak Trading and Contracting Co. LLC announced the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Saad Bahwan Investment Management Company (SBIMC).

This partnership with SBIMC, a well-respected Omani conglomerate with a diverse portfolio across various sectors, including construction and development, paves the way for Al Adrak to establish itself as a real estate developer in the UAE, following its successful track record as a contractor in the region.
