Our Vision
To be the most trusted and comprehensive destination for exotic pets and aquatics in the region, empowering enthusiasts and families to discover, learn, and share their passion.
Our Mission
To redefine the exotic pet industry in the UAE by providing an unmatched customer experience, expert guidance, and a commitment to the ethical treatment and well-being of all animals.
About CEO
Beyond his business endeavors, Mr. Roshan is committed to social responsibility. As the Secretary of the Chilla Foundation, an NGO based in Kerala, he has spearheaded initiatives to protect women and children, funding higher education for hundreds of students and supporting vulnerable communities.
Sahara Exotics was founded as an extension of Mr. Roshan’s lifelong passion for pets and aquatics. Recognizing a clear gap in the Ajman market for a comprehensive, high-quality source for exotic animals and related services, he established Sahara Exotics to bring together:
Healthy, ethically sourced exotic birds, reptiles, and aquarium fish
A curated range of premium feeds, habitats, and accessories
Aquarium design and installation services for residential and commercial clients
Professional pet grooming with a focus on animal welfare and care
At Sahara Exotics, excellence is not just a promise—it is the foundation of everything we do. Whether you are a first-time pet owner or a seasoned collector, we invite you to experience a new benchmark for quality and professionalism.
