Mohammed Abdullah Sharbatly Co. Ltd originates from a commercial activity established in the early ’30s by Al Sayed Abdullah Abbas Sharbatly.
The Sharbatly have been a family of merchants for a very long time. They initially catered for the pilgrims visiting the holy sites of Mecca and Medina. Jeddah became the main port of arrival for the pilgrims in 647 AD . Several Jeddah guide books, when describing the landmarks of the ancient city, indicate that “the most interesting is Sharbatly House, the ancient mansion of a prominent merchant family”.
