About us
Protecting Jeddah's businesses, homes and celebrations since 2009
How Yaqatha began
Yaqatha started in 2009 with twelve officers guarding two warehouses in Al Khumra.
Our founder spent twenty years in civil defence before starting the company. He had seen businesses paying for guards who had never been shown the building they protected, and cameras that nobody watched. He built Yaqatha on one rule: every officer is trained for the site they stand in, and every alarm reaches a person.
Today we employ 240 licensed officers, run our own control room, and install and maintain cameras, alarms and access control. Our clients include logistics companies, residential compounds, private schools, clinics and wedding halls across Jeddah and Makkah Region.
Our mission
We want security to be one less thing our clients worry about: the right people on post, technology that works and honest reports. That is why we invest in training first. Every new officer completes 120 hours before their first shift and a refresher course every year, because a well-trained officer prevents far more than any camera.
For our wedding season we needed female officers at the ladies' entrance and discreet guards in the car park. Yaqatha covered forty events without a single complaint.— Hessa Al Ghamdi, Manager, wedding hall in Al Shati
Our founder, Faisal Al Harbi
Faisal joined civil defence at nineteen and spent two decades in emergency response and building safety inspections. He still visits new sites himself and signs off every security plan we hand over.
