About Salam

Discover 360º Experiential Shopping



Since 1952 the shopper has discovered that walking into Salam is an experience like no other. It is not about making a purchase. It is about experiencing a luxury of choice. It is about the possibility to transform. It is about the promise of a lifestyle. It is about the discovery of self. It is about ones soul’s satisfaction. It is here where the shopper will welcome an ambience of comfort and quiet efficiency. It is an atmosphere that the shopper will count as their most fulfilling. It is about the total experience. This is the 360º Salam Experience.

In 1952 the first Salam operation brought photography services to Qatar. From these humble beginnings by the late Mr. Abdul Salam Mohammed Abu Issa comes what is today a highly romanticised business story.

 

The history of retailing in Qatar goes hand in hand with Salam Store’s progress over time:

  • Sadd Street was opened in the late 1970s, coinciding with the opening of the Salam Studio and Stores in 1976.

  • In 1980 Dafna was still a vision in the town planners’ and people’s minds, Salam Plaza opened there.

  • In the 21st Century Salam is set to open The Gate, which is to be a leading address in Doha, comprising business offices and the best retail experience.

  • Salam Group owns and operates department stores in Qatar, United Arab Emirates and Oman. Extensive distribution and wholesale networks are also operated in these markets as well as in Kuwait and Jordan.
