Message from the CEO
Everyone desires distinction.. Only few make it come true. Distinction is the difference between beautiful and wonderful, rare and unique, good and great. It’s the aim that everyone pursuits, but only a few reaches it. It’s the highest point that cannot be reached except by an attempt, work and effort that has no definition of enough. It’s far more than a business; it’s a consuming passion. It is about purpose, composition and absolute professionalism; it’s “Communities Innovation”. RAFAL is culture driven, understanding, bold, exceptional, transparent, aspirer and achiever; this is the essence. This is the belief that motivates us to develop high standard quality communities, services and business conduct to reach a unique and exquisite level that’ll become one of our many distinctive niches created.
