Meet Our Founders
Welcome to Pine Spot Restaurant & Pub. Behind our warm atmosphere, exceptional hospitality, and unique community concept stands a partnership of passion, deep industry expertise, and global vision.
We invite you to learn more about the visionaries who brought Pine Spot to life right here in the heart of Fuheis.
Two Visions. One Unforgettable Venue.
When Raad’s absolute operational precision and executive training met Elias’s global perspective and cultural harmony, Pine Spot Restaurant & Pub was born. Together, they have built more than just a business at Shaker Circle in Fuheis; they have established a home away from home.
The next time you pull up a stool at our bar, enjoy our world-class screens, or relax in our private VIP lounge, you are experiencing a space crafted with care by two founders dedicated to giving you the very best.

Building More Than a Venue: The Piners Community
For Raad and Elias, creating Pine Spot Restaurant & Pub was never just about opening the doors to a business—it was about creating a dedicated home away from home for the people of Fuheis. Their shared dream was to build a true, lasting community where families, friends, sports enthusiasts, and culinary lovers could gather under one roof and feel like they truly belong.
This vision is what sparked the creation of the Piners Community. It is a space where our regular guests become part of our extended family, enjoying exclusive perks, priority reservations for major events like the FIFA World Cup 2026, and unique rewards.
