About the owner: Majid Al Futtaim
Majid Al Futtaim is a privately held company headquartered in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. Brandtree records 7 brands under its control.
Majid Al Futtaim is a privately held Emirati group that builds and runs shopping malls, communities and hotels and then operates much of the retail and leisure business inside them. It opened the first City Centre mall in the United Arab Emirates in 1995 and now has 29 destination malls, more than 475 retail stores and over 625 cinema screens across the Middle East, Africa and Asia, on revenue of AED 35.9 billion in 2025. A good deal of what shoppers see under its roofs carries names it does not own: its hypermarkets trade as Carrefour under a franchise that charges it a fee on every sale.
