Joannou & Paraskevaides Group

J&P, was founded in Cyprus in the year 1941 and right after its formation went on to play a key role in developing the island’s early infrastructure but by the time Cyprus won independence in 1960, the company’s size, ambition and dynamism inevitably meant it should seek new challenges abroad.

The company cut its teeth overseas in Libya in 1960 and in 1969 expanded operations to the Arabian Gulf states. It was a timely move. The exploitation of the region’s oil spawned a 25 year construction boom in which J&P played a leading role. It built mountain roads and desert highways, bridges and flyovers, airports, luxury hotels, hospitals, palaces and whole townships, with contacts in Saudi Arabia, Oman, the United Arab Emirates, Iraq, Algeria, Ethiopia, Egypt and Qatar.

To list but a few of J&P’s projects in the Gulf Area are, the Doha Intercontinental Hotel in Qatar, the Emirates Airline New Engineering Centre in Dubai Airport, the Lahore International Airport in Pakistan, the Al Bustan Palace Hotel in Muscat, Oman, the King Fahd International Airport in Saudi Arabia, The Dubai-Fujairah freeway, the Pearl-Qatar Project, the Nuayyim GOSP in Saudi Arabia, the Queen Alia International Airport in Amman, Jordan, and many others.
