Al Qaryah Group of Companies is the UAE's leading integrated automotive group, headquartered in Sharjah with operations spanning cars trading, auction, logistics, and spare parts. Founded in 2010 by Chairman Sayed Ahmed K. Seddiqi, the group has grown over 15 years into a multi-entity organisation employing over 340 professionals across five business verticals.
What sets Al Qaryah apart is not any single operation in isolation — it is the integration: sourcing vehicles internationally, moving them through a proprietary logistics network, and selling them through the UAE's largest used car auction platform, all under one roof.
Al Qaryah Investment LLC is the parent holding company. Al Qaryah Group of Companies is the brand identity under which all subsidiaries operate.
From a single trading entity in 2010 to a multi-sector group operating across the UAE, GCC, and the United States — Al Qaryah is a story of disciplined expansion, operational integrity, and an entrepreneurial culture that turns ambition into infrastructure. Our next decade is about partnership: building enduring relationships with brands, institutions, and counterparties who share our commitment to long-term value creation.
To operate a diversified portfolio of high-performance businesses across the UAE, GCC, and select international markets — delivering long-term value to partners, stakeholders, and the communities we serve through innovation, operational excellence, and responsible growth.

Al Qaryah Group operates across five integrated business verticals. The first three form the automotive core.
Most automotive businesses in the UAE operate one piece of the chain — either sourcing, or logistics, or auction sales. Al Qaryah operates all three under a single roof. This integration eliminates third-party markups at every handoff, gives the group full cost visibility per vehicle, and enables speed that fragmented competitors cannot match.
With 80,000+ registered buyers and 8,000+ registered sellers on its platform, Al Qaryah operates the UAE's largest used vehicle auction marketplace by registered membership. Network effects at this scale are compounding and increasingly difficult for new entrants to replicate.
The group's Auction ERP platform was built entirely in-house. It supports simultaneous live and online bidding, real-time buyer and seller portals, and integrated workflows. The platform serves 80,000+ users and processes tens of thousands of auction transactions annually. A native iOS and Android app with AI Voice Search is also in operation.
Over one million square feet of combined yard and warehouse capacity across two Sharjah branches, running five to six auction sessions per week. This physical scale is not easily or quickly replicated and represents years of capital investment and operational buildout.
