About Us

Aplus Consultancy operates under the umbrella of Andalus For Trade and Investment LLC, a family-owned company with a proud heritage that spans over three decades. Our journey began in 1990 in Dubai, UAE, where our founders launched a successful Optical Clinic and retail shop, serving the local community with dedication and excellence for 17 years.

Established by a visionary Afghan family, our roots are grounded in integrity, hard work, and a passion for creating value across diverse sectors. In 2007, the family expanded their business into Istanbul, Turkey, shifting focus to the real estate market. Over the course of eight years, they built a reputable real estate firm specializing in the sale of apartments, villas, and chalets, while also offering services in permanent residency and investment opportunities across Turkey.

In pursuit of broader horizons and new opportunities, the company relocated to Muscat, Oman, where Aplus Consultancy was officially established as a key division under Andalus For Trade and Investment LLC.
