Later, I moved to Saudi Arabia to work with Abdullah Al-Othaim Markets, which owns over 300 branches. I was responsible for one of these branches as a Bakery Supervisor, which helped refine my skills in management and operations
Subsequently, I founded and established ‘Areej Lebanon’ restaurant in Dammam, which provided me with extensive experience in hospitality and catering services.
