History
The Afifi family’s move into public transportation began modestly in the 1920s when it bought a truck to help deliver crops to local markets in the Galilee. Responding to demand, the Afifis installed a bench to transport passengers too. Today the Afifi Group operates 11 companies, whose operations range from transportation, tourism and hotels to IT and investment in real-estate. The Afifi family has a proud history of building long-term relationships with customers, suppliers and business partners, both locally and internationally.
