Bab Al Amani: the gate of hopes.

We're a trading company in Deira, Dubai. Our customers are mostly in East and Central Africa. Our job is the part in between: buying the right goods, checking them, and getting them there on the date we said.

What we believe

The arch in our logo is that gate. For a trading company, hope is the container turning up on the day we said, and the customer ordering again next season.

SteadyWe give you a date and we hit it. When we can't, you hear it from us first.
GrowingWhen our customers do well, so do we. We'd rather have a long relationship than one big margin.
ConnectingOur office is in Dubai, our customers are in Africa. We handle the part in between.

Why Dubai

The closest big market to East Africa.

Dubai has been trading with the Swahili coast for centuries, first by dhow, now by container. It still makes sense.
