The Elaf Group of Companies, a leading provider of travel, tourism and hospitality services, has signed a contract with Amac Investment to manage two hotels in Madinah, Saudi Arabia.

 The agreement was signed between  Ziyad Bin Mahfouz, president, Elaf Group and Abdul Aziz Bin Mohammed Al Mashal, chairman, Amac Investment.

Also present during the signing ceremony were Abdullah Bakri, vice-president, Elaf Hotels and Mohammed Al Omran, chief executive officer, Amac Investment.

Under the agreement, Elaf Group will manage and operate two new hotels – the Elaf Mashal Al Madina and the Elaf Mashal Al Salam.
