A concierge for people and companies in motion

You will be seen.

Two things have to land when you come to Saudi Arabia: your life and your work. One team holds both, and stays past the signature.

Arrival Entry Place

First city live: Riyadh

Arrival

A household lands. Home, papers, schools, mobility, and the ninety days after the boxes arrive.

Arrival →

Entry

A company lands. Entry route, licence, premises, and the first hires with their families behind them.

Entry →

Place

A building has to work. Positioning, resident experience, leasing strategy and operating model, for the people who own it.

The week nobody sells to

Relocation is sold to the person who signed the contract. The week that decides whether a move actually works belongs to everybody else in the house.

The spouse
Gave up a career to come. The first week is an unfamiliar flat, a phone that does not ring, and a working week that now starts on Sunday.
The child
Knows no faces. Term started without them, the uniform list means nothing yet, and the friendships were made in September.
The senior person
Ran a company on Thursday. On Sunday they cannot pay for petrol without asking a stranger to help them read the pump.

None of that appears on a relocation checklist. All of it decides whether the family is still here in a year.

We choose who we work with

We work with people and companies whose intent we believe in. We say no, and we say why.

The person behind it

Manara is run by Victor Barrero, who first came to Saudi Arabia in 2009 and built institutional residential operations here and in the United States before starting it. The first call is with him.
