Generations ago, in the early 1800s, Abdullah Bahwan from Sur, a place famed for its seafaring traditions, followed his father’s tradition of trading and embarked on numerous voyages across the seas.

In his heart were the courage and the ambition to reach the farthest horizons, touch the outermost shores and bring home the prime harvest of trade.

The Bahwan family traded successfully with merchants from various countries, including Africa, Zanzibar (Which was a colony of Oman), Iraq, Yemen and India.

With every nautical mile Abdullah Bahwan charted, he was setting a tradition so rich that it would come to be known across the country as one of the finest Corporate Houses in Oman – The Saud Bahwan Group.
