The Tamimi Group, sometimes called the al-Tamimi group, is a Saudi Arabian business house with activities ranging from supermarket chains, hotels, oilfield services & supplies, road construction, power generation to bus transportation and trucking.
Founded in 1953 by the late Ali Tamimi, the company is presently owned and managed by his heirs.

Its commercial division represents Halliburton, Exide, Red Wing, and Firestone. Its international division is active in Kuwait, the UAE, and Iraq providing catering, maintenance and other support services.
