Our Take
StableNot Rated rating with below-market fees. No red flags from the data.
Solid mid-pack option. Re-evaluate when the 2026-27 KHDA inspection cycle resumes. That is when ratings will refresh after the two-year freeze.
- Some additional fees are estimated. KHDA fact sheet pending verification.
