Development Strategy
I believe the key to success at the moment in our industry is the ability to adapt and to align the strategies in a dynamic and constantly evolving business environment. To maintain a healthy business, strong financial acumen is needed to maintain adequate cash flow. (By GM)Knowing what is happening in the market and aligning pricing strategies helps to maintain the market share, making it difficult for competitors to take a piece of our pie. Passion, self-belief, effective communication, presentation skills, high levels of cultural awareness, attention to detail, eagerness to learn new things, and stakeholder relationships are other important skills, which are needed to be successful in this industry.
History & Story
When H.H Prince Sultan and his family decided to go for a family safari in the secluded plains of Africa, they most definitely did not expect to fall in love with the wildlife and the villages. In such a way that they would end up recreating the exact same experience in the middle of the Saudi Arabian desert.
Born from love and passion, Nofa Riyadh was one of its kind in the region. Every decorations, and structures have its own stories. From paintings of Maasai Tribe on the walls to the centerpiece on the tables, it was hand picked and with personal touch by H.H. Prince Sultan and his family
Just an hour drive from Riyadh’s King Khalid International Airport, or 45 minutes from downtown Riyadh our hotel allows you to experience the magic of the desert, the changing landscapes, and the majestic sand dunes all in lush greenery. The Resort’s amazing Wildlife Park, where various animals from different origins can be seen.
