From skilled baristas and waitstaff in F&B to the efficient housekeeping, reception, reservation, accounting, kitchen, banquet and human resources teams, Waves Hotel's Saudi employees have demonstrated remarkable resilience, eagerness to learn, and rapid progress.

The Vision Behind Waves Hotel:

Born and raised in Umluj, Mr. Lafi Al Faydi has always envisioned transforming his hometown into a thriving tourism and hospitality hub. Inspired by the 2030 vision of Crown Prince HRH Mohammed Bin Salman and the city's constant evolution, Mr. Al Faydi set out to create an iconic attraction that would provide unparalleled service and attention to detail. Waves Hotel, a luxurious beachfront property, not only offers a world-class service but also serves as a catalyst for local employment and sustainable tourism practices.

Mr. Lafi Al Faydi recognized the untapped potential within the local Saudi population to contribute to the tourism and hospitality industry. Leveraging the resources available in Umluj City, he set out to encourage his fellow residents to explore career opportunities in this thriving sector. Supported by the government's commitment to fostering local talent, Mr. Al Faydi's efforts were embraced and celebrated. In 2022 the pre-opening ceremony of Waves Hotel received an honorary presence from HRH Prince Fahd bin Sultan, the Prince of Tabuk province, further solidifying the hotel's significance in the community.

Empowering the Saudi Workforce:

Waves Hotel takes immense pride in its Saudi workforce, consisting of both men and women who have embraced the opportunity to work in the hospitality industry. Many of these individuals had never worked in hotels before, yet their perseverance and eagerness to learn have been truly remarkable. The hotel celebrates the accomplishments of its Saudi baristas, with Saudi ladies mastering over 20 coffee variations, and its Saudi waitstaff, who have received glowing reviews for their exceptional service.

"Waves Hotel's commitment to empowering the local community aligns with the Saudi government's vision, and the hotel serves as a testament to the remarkable talent and potential within the country," said Eng Faris Al Faydi, the CEO of Blue Waves Hospitality.

Mr. Lafi Al Faydi remained steadfast in his belief that he could create a distinctive brand that would not only benefit the local community but also pave the way for future endeavors. By establishing his own hotel, he ensured that Waves Hotel would serve as a building block for the people of Umluj, opening doors to numerous opportunities within the tourism and hospitality industry.
