“It’s about more than building interiors; it’s about creating lasting experiences.”
Tareq Khalafawi, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of A&T Group Interiors, has once again been named to the Design Middle East Fit-Out Power List 2025, recognizing the visionaries driving the region’s interior fit-out industry forward.
With over 16 years of expertise, Tareq leads the delivery of high-profile hospitality, F&B, and commercial fit-out projects across the UAE and KSA. Over the years, A&T has been the trusted partner for some of the Middle East’s most dynamic hospitality, F&B, and lifestyle brands.
In the recent feature, Tareq highlighted the company’s strong growth trajectory. In 2024, A&T achieved a 27% increase in completed projects, and 2025 is set to be its strongest year yet, with over 30% growth projected. The firm’s portfolio includes prestigious names such as Jumeirah Group, Paris Society International, DMCC, Addmind Hospitality, and Fairmont IFA Hotels & Resorts.
A&T has delivered projects in some of the region’s most iconic destinations. Recently, Merex Investment Group honored the company with a Certificate of Appreciation for its work at J1 Beach and City Walk, including the Talabat Headquarters and Gigi Rigolatto Beach House.
These recognitions reflect A&T’s commitment to creating interiors that contribute to the region’s cultural and culinary landscape. As the firm looks ahead, Bahrain marks the next chapter in its expanding regional presence.
