Movenpick Hotel Qassim has signed a preferred hotel agreement with Qatar Airways.
As a result of the agreement, the five-star hotel will benefit from inflight announcements on every Qatar Airways flight arriving at destinations within Saudi Arabia.
Additionally, the airline’s official website will list the 159-room Movenpick Hotel Qassim as a preferred hotel.
Movenpick Hotel Qassim is only 30 minutes’ drive from the regional Qassim Airport and is situated at the junction of King Fahad Road and King Khaled Road in Buraydah.
The Al-Qassim district is known as Saudi Arabia’s food provider due to the area’s heritage of agriculture and Movenpick Hotel Qassim is the only upscale hotel in the vicinity.
“We are delighted to enter into this agreement with Qatar Airways in a move which is extremely positive for awareness of the destination as well,” said Toufic Tamim, vice president sales and marketing for the Middle East.
“This is our second property in Saudi Arabia to partner with Qatar Airways, following an earlier agreement relating to Movenpick Hotel Alkhobar in the country’s Eastern Province,” he added.
The hotel features a contemporary art deco design and caters for business travelers and families.
A sky-blue glass dome that welcomes the desert sun and the early evening glow is another prominent characteristic of the hotel.
Most notably however, is Movenpick Hotel Qassim’s commitment to stand out as one of the most environmentally friendly hotels in the Kingdom.
The property maintains its efforts in this respect by adhering to a set of ‘green standards’ and responsible operating procedures.
Qatar Airways, one of the world’s fastest growing airlines, has seen rapid growth in just 15 years of operations.
The company’s Preferred Hotel Program is a prestigious platform that highlights hotels of exceptional quality.

Arab Investment launches new corporate identity
The Arab Investment Company has launched its new corporate identity, “Arab Invest,” in a strategic move that reflects its future direction and marks the start of a new chapter in its journey, which began in 1974, as one of the Arab sovereign wealth funds concerned with developing resources and enhancing economic integration among its 16 Arab member states.
The new corporate identity reflects the company’s value system underpinning its investment approach, based on robust governance, sustainability, effective partnerships, and adherence to the highest professional and economic standards, embodying its vision of building high-quality investments aligned with the priorities of the shareholder states.
Saad bin Abdulaziz Al-Khalb, chairman of the board of directors, said: “The launch of the company’s new identity comes within the context of a strategic phase aimed at enhancing clarity of institutional vision and consolidating the company’s position over the long term, in line with shareholders’ aspirations and reflective of the requirements of the coming period.”
He added that the new identity is viewed as a clear translation of a well-considered investment trajectory that reflects depth of experience, strengthens stakeholders’ confidence, and supports the company’s ability to continue serving the interests of the Arab member states.
CEO of Arab Invest Abdullah bin Saleh Bakhraibah said the launch of the new corporate identity represents, in essence, a new chapter in the company’s journey spanning more than 50 years. He noted the particular importance of this step at both the strategic and operational levels, as the new identity reflects a series of institutional transformations the company has undergone in recent years, including achieving the highest financial revenues in its history during 2025.
Bakhraibah added: “The new identity is not merely a visual update for the company; rather, it is a strategic message that expresses an advanced stage of institutional maturity, while simultaneously underscoring the deep historical roots of one of the region’s most established Arab sovereign wealth funds, consolidating its distinguished position and the credibility it enjoys in the Arab investment landscape, enabling it to keep pace with major economic developments and enhancing the company’s readiness to continue growth and expansion in accordance with best-in-class investment practices.”
He also highlighted the company’s distinguished investment efforts since the launch of its new strategy, saying that Arab Invest has recently witnessed notable development in local and global strategic partnerships, to achieve the highest performance standards and institutional operating mechanisms. Bakhraibah emphasized the company’s continued commitment to delivering sustainable investment impact in line with the aspirations of the coming period.
