“AL Qahtani continued this is one of the main reasons for us to be part of the English Premier League, the strongest football league world wide. We wish Sheffield United “The Blades” all the best during the season and looking forward to long lasting partnership with the team and management.”
Founded in 2000, Al Wefaq Rent a Car has more than 80 branches inside the Saudi Kingdom cities domestic and international airports in addition to regional international airports including UAE and Egypt.
