About Founder
Zaid Ameen · Founder & Group Entrepreneur
Every journey deserves to be designed, not left to chance.
The story of the founder who turned a single Dubai office into a travel group that helps thousands cross the winds — with our home base right here in the UAE.
The founding idea
A kite doesn't fight the wind. It reads it — and turns it into flight.
That one idea has shaped everything Zaid Ameen has built. Good travel, he'll tell you, is never luck. It's a hundred small, careful decisions adding up — made by people who actually care where you end up.
The journey
From one office to a regional network — one thoughtful decision at a time.
Zaid Ameen started Go Kite with one simple conviction: pair genuine empathy with genuine execution, and travel stops being stressful. Eighteen years on, that same belief has carried the brand across three countries — and somehow it still feels personal, one traveller at a time.
A stubborn belief, a single desk
Go Kite began as one office and one conviction: that the seams of travel — the visa queue, the missed connection, the confusing fine print — were problems worth solving properly. Zaid set out to design the whole journey, not just sell a ticket.
Scaling responsibly, not recklessly
Go Kite grew the honest way — by building real capabilities and a partner network worth trusting, never by cutting corners. Everyone on the team was trusted to treat a customer's trip as if it were their own. The business grew because the care did.
A 450+ team across 20 branches
Today, Go Kite looks after travellers across the UAE, Oman and India — holidays, global visas, flights, hotels, group tours and corporate trips, all handled with the same speed, clarity and care as on day one.
The same friction-free philosophy, new frontiers
The same belief — that when life gets simpler, people get further — now reaches into two more areas: business setup and real estate advisory, both part of the Go Kite Group.
How Zaid leads
Three non-negotiables
Under his stewardship, Go Kite has been anchored in three principles that never bend — no matter how fast the group grows.
People-first service
Every trip is somebody's job to get right — and they take it personally. Empathy isn't a poster on the wall here; it's in how each booking, visa and itinerary actually gets handled.
Technology-enabled operations
Good systems take the busywork off our people's plates, so they can spend their time on what technology can't do — the judgement, the care and the small details that make a trip feel effortless.
Value without compromise
You should never have to choose between a fair price and a good experience. With Go Kite you get both — thoughtful planning and honest value, in the very same trip.
The portfolio vision · beyond travel
One philosophy, extended into a friction-free life.
Zaid's journey as an entrepreneur carries the same promise into the other things travellers and residents worry about — bringing the same clarity, speed and care, wherever life happens to take them.
