The Family Empire That Built Dubai’s Lifestyle | Majid Al Futtaim Documentary

Dubai is known for skyscrapers, luxury, ambition, and impossible ideas. But cities are not only built by towers. They are built by experiences. By emotion. By memory. By the places people visit every day. In this documentary, we explore the story of Majid Al Futtaim — the visionary businessman behind one of the most powerful private business empires in the Middle East. From the rise of modern retail with Carrefour, to the transformation of shopping through City Centre Deira, Mall of the Emirates, and Ski Dubai, Majid Al Futtaim helped reshape how people experience Dubai. But the story did not stop with malls. The company evolved into a master developer, creating lifestyle communities such as Al Zahia, Tilal Al Ghaf, and the future-focused sustainable community Ghaf Woods. This is not only a real estate story. It is a story about retail, entertainment, urban development, consumer psychology, luxury, sustainability, and nation building.
