Knotika Holding

The Middle East is in the midst of creating some of the largest marina and waterfront developments in the world, and these developments have created opportunities throughout the marine industry. Recognizing the voids and opportunities in the UAE’s embryonic boating industry, Knotika Holding was conceptualized to fill in the gaps. The variety of services offered range from a marine store to a television station, all operated in the Knotika Marine Mall located in Al Quoz - Dubai. Synergizing the marine market, Knotika Holding aims to be a virtual and physical one-stop-shop with future branches to be located elsewhere in, as well as Abu Dhabi, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain, and Saudi Arabia.
