Doha Bank is one of Qatar’s largest and longest-established commercial banks, operating since the late 1970s with a full retail, corporate and international banking business run from its Doha headquarters.

Al-Futtaim is one of the oldest and broadest family businesses in the Gulf, and most residents interact with it several times a week without noticing. It is the automotive group behind major vehicle distribution and dealership networks in the UAE; the retail operator behind IKEA, ACE and a portfolio of international fashion and department store brands in the region; the developer and operator behind Dubai Festival City; and a group with substantial interests in financial services, insurance distribution, electronics, healthcare and industrial equipment. For a job seeker, that breadth is the point: a single group offering careers in car showrooms,…
Emaar built the skyline everyone photographs. The developer behind Burj Khalifa, Downtown Dubai, The Dubai Mall, Dubai Marina, Emaar Beachfront, Dubai Hills Estate and Arabian Ranches is one of the largest listed property companies in the region, with businesses spanning development, malls, hospitality, entertainment and community management. Its projects are also the reason Dubai’s real estate sector employs so many people — from site workers pouring concrete to brokers closing sales to community teams maintaining what has been handed over. Real estate is one of the highest-value industries in the emirate, and it pays accordingly for the right skills. This…
Atlantis sits at the apex of the Palm Jumeirah, and it is really two resorts: Atlantis, The Palm — the original family destination with its waterpark, aquarium and enormous room inventory — and Atlantis The Royal, the ultra-luxury property that opened alongside it. Together they form one of the largest single hospitality employers in Dubai, operating restaurants by celebrated chefs, marine and water attractions, extensive banqueting, and a staffing operation that runs into thousands. For hospitality workers, a resort of this scale offers something a city hotel cannot: variety. The same property employs waterpark lifeguards, marine mammal specialists, fine-dining sommeliers,…
Burj Al Arab is the building that made Dubai famous. Standing on its own island off Jumeirah Beach, shaped like a billowing sail, operated by Jumeirah — part of Dubai Holding — it is one of the most photographed hotels on earth and a permanent shorthand for luxury hospitality. For hotel workers, it also represents something specific: the top of the service profession, where standards, training and expectations are set higher than almost anywhere else in the industry. Getting there is not a matter of luck or agents. It is a matter of skills, English, presentation and a career path…
Lulu is the Gulf retail story that belongs to India. Founded by an entrepreneur from Kerala and grown across the GCC into one of the region’s largest hypermarket chains, Lulu Group has become the supermarket where the subcontinent shops abroad — stocked with Indian brands, staffed overwhelmingly by Indian and South Asian employees, and closely connected to the migrant communities it serves. Its retail arm listed on the Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange in late 2024 in what was reported as the largest UAE IPO of that year, which added public-company reporting discipline to an already enormous operation. For a job…
Carrefour is the supermarket most Dubai residents shop in at least once a week. In this region the brand is operated under franchise by Majid Al Futtaim, which runs hypermarkets, supermarkets and smaller city-format stores across the UAE and the wider Middle East, alongside its shopping malls, cinemas and leisure businesses. That combination — a global retail brand run by a large regional group — makes it one of the most consistent volume employers of South Asian workers in the emirate. Grocery retail is not glamorous, and it should not be sold as such. It is early starts, long shifts…
Mall of the Emirates changed what a shopping centre could be. When it opened with an indoor ski slope in the middle of the desert, it turned retail into a destination — and two decades later it remains one of Dubai’s landmark venues, operated by Majid Al Futtaim, the regional group that also runs Carrefour across the Middle East, City Centre malls, VOX Cinemas, Magic Planet and a substantial hospitality and leisure portfolio. For workers, a mall of this type is a concentrated job market: hundreds of retail units, dozens of restaurants, a ski resort, cinemas, a family entertainment centre,…
