Al Kharafi Swimming Pools

What Al Kharafi Swimming Pools does

Al Kharafi Swimming Pools is a Dubai-headquartered private subsidiary of Al-Kharafi Group international that designs, constructs, and maintains swimming pools, artificial lagoons, and aqua parks across the United Arab Emirates, Egypt, and Kuwait. Its core offering spans four product categories — public pools, private residential pools, artificial lagoons, and water parks — supported by a maintenance service line and an e-commerce storefront selling chemicals, spare parts, cleaning accessories, and lighting equipment. The company holds regional sole-agency rights for Desjoyaux (France) patented filtration technology and Polin Water Parks (Turkey) water slide equipment, which it deploys as part of its construction packages, particularly the Desjoyaux external-pump filtration system for villa-scale installations.

The business operates on a quote-based, project-driven model: customers request estimates via the website or direct sales channels, prices are determined by site inspection, pool type (concrete/gunite vs. fiberglass), dimensions, accessories, and location, and the firm supplements construction revenue with aftermarket hardware sales and ongoing maintenance contracts. Its customer base combines enterprise and institutional clients — including El Gouna, Arab Contractors, Hassan Allam Properties, Al Qadisiya Club, Al Nasr Kuwait, and Khitan Club — with a long tail of private villa owners. Distribution is direct through three wholly-owned country branches (UAE, Egypt via EMAK Pools, Kuwait) plus an online storefront, and the firm markets through a bilingual Arabic/English website, social media, and WhatsApp.

Al Kharafi Swimming Pools benefits from affiliation with Al-Kharafi Group, a Kuwaiti-origin conglomerate with over 100 years of operating history, International Grade A contractor classification, and annual turnover exceeding US$2.6 billion. Cumulative execution is reported at 8,000+ private pools, 800+ public pools, and 200+ lagoons and water parks across the Middle East. No external funding rounds, M&A activity, or third-party investors are disclosed; ownership remains within the Al-Kharafi family group.
