Since 2004

Some houses are built.Others are commissioned.

Royal Luxury Interiors is an Abu Dhabi design & fit-out practice — palaces, mosques, villas and national landmarks — with its own factories in Abu Dhabi and Fez.

Royal Luxury Interiors was established in Abu Dhabi as a master atelier uniting architectural design with sovereign construction capability. We work hand-in-hand with royal households and discerning patrons to bring ambitious visions into permanent architectural reality.

What distinguishes our practice is vertical sovereignty over production: from the ancestral clay kilns of Fez to the precision milling and plaster carving studios of Abu Dhabi, we command the integrity of every raw material.

Across more than two decades, the practice has delivered over 63 landmark commissions, including 30 mosques for the Crown Prince Court, royal suites in Emirates Palace, and UNESCO-protected cultural heritage sites such as the Al Ain Oasis.

We believe enduring architecture cannot be assembled by machines alone; it requires the hands of master Maallems who have inherited the timeless geometry and spiritual proportions of Islamic architecture.
