A cross-border strategist with fifteen years of local proof.
Nigerian-born entrepreneur, cultural ambassador and visionary leader based in Qatar for over fifteen years — founder of four active companies and a director at the Qatar Nigeria Business Council.
Famous Aluya is the founder of four active companies in Qatar, including Oryx Group, a Qatar-registered company committed to strengthening cultural, social and economic ties between Africa and Qatar. He also serves as a director at the Qatar Nigeria Business Council, advancing trade, collaboration and diplomatic engagement between both regions.
Through Oryx Group Events and Tourism he and his team have spearheaded high-impact initiatives — the highly celebrated African Comedy Festival in Qatar, leadership seminars, business development programmes and corporate events that empower entrepreneurs and strengthen cross-cultural collaboration.
Deeply embedded in Qatar's tourism ecosystem, he has facilitated the entry of a high volume of African tourists into the country while guiding individuals, entrepreneurs and organisations through entering, settling and navigating opportunities in Qatar.
A sought-after keynote speaker, he has spoken at strategic leadership events across Qatar on entrepreneurship, cross-cultural collaboration, innovation and economic development. He is also CEO of Oryx Smart Technologies WLL and Aluya Technologies WLL, building community-oriented applications such as ALUYA MUSIC, REELVIBES and UMMAH CONNECT, and founder and host of The Insight Podcast Qatara — the only podcast in the region dedicated to Africa–Qatar connections.

Founder & CEO, Oryx Group · Doha, Qatar
To promote Africa in Qatar, and Qatar in Africa.
My work exists to make movement between two regions feel natural rather than difficult — for the entrepreneur opening a first office, the family relocating, the investor placing capital, and the institution looking for a credible counterpart.
That means removing friction: correct structures, honest advice, trusted introductions and delivery that holds up when it matters. It also means telling the story properly — through events, media and cultural production that give African excellence a stage in Qatar, and give Qatar a familiar face across the continent.
A single corridor of opportunity between a continent and a Gulf state.
A future where African ambition and Qatari opportunity meet without friction — where businesses, capital, culture and talent move in both directions, and where the relationships built along the way are as durable as the deals they produce.
Seven practices, one corridor.
Whether you are an individual, entrepreneur, investor, business or institution, the work is practical: clarity first, then structure, then execution alongside a team that knows the market.

You are not buying time. You are buying the shortest route to a decision you can trust.
Fifteen years in this market produce a specific kind of value: knowing which licence applies, which zone performs, which partner follows through, and which question to ask before money moves.
