About us
BUILT BY PEOPLE
WHO WERE THERE.
Twenty-five years inside the GCC events industry and the story of how the region's live entertainment infrastructure got built, one show at a time.
" We believe a live experience is the most powerful thing a brand can create. Not a campaign, not a product, but a moment. One that leaves an audience changed. Our work is to make those moments inevitable."
Mohammed Khwiss - Founder & CEO, MKAY Event Services
Founder & Chief Executive Officer
Mohammed Khwiss
25 years inside the GCC events industry
He started when live entertainment in the Gulf was still finding its footing: no established playbooks, no local infrastructure, only a community of driven individuals building something from the ground up, together. Mohammed was proud to be one of them.
From boutique consultancy to full-scale infrastructure and site management for shows featuring Ed Sheeran, Elton John, Jennifer Lopez and others, every project has been a reminder of what is possible when the right people care deeply about getting it right.
Beyond service delivery, MKAY operates as a full-service events agency, producing events from concept to curtain call for corporate and entertainment clients, including Biffy Clyro and Julio Iglesias.
"The infrastructure behind a great event should be invisible. The audience should feel only the magic — never the machinery and chaos."
