With the prestigious King Abdul Aziz Endowment complex in Makkah already in its order books, Jeddah-based Alarabi Decoration and Construction Company is highly optimistic of clinching further deals not only on this ongoing massive project but also on the other major developments that are being launched in this holy city.
