gig – Jordan (Arab Orient)

Tier S · Recommended

Market-leading, regionally-backed multi-line insurer

Founded 1996 as Arab Orient; joined Gulf Insurance Group (a top-3 MENA insurer) in 2013. Among the largest insurers in Jordan by premium and AM Best-rated — a true market leader with deep reinsurance capacity for large infrastructure.

Pros

+ Market leader by premium
+ GIG group backing = deep capacity
+ AM Best-rated
+ Full engineering sub-lines + e-services portal

Cons

− No fetchable static CAR page (JS-rendered site)
− No online quote
− Engineering buried under "Business Insurance"
− Corporate cover needs a broker/branch

Jordan note

The GIG backing means the capacity to underwrite large Jordanian infrastructure risk — its engineering line covers CAR, plant & machinery, machinery breakdown and more, placed through a broker rather than online.

Typical Jordan pricing: Quote-only via broker/branch.
