About Us

OUR HISTORY

The Juma Al Majid Holding Group is more than just a business enterprise. Founded with a purpose, our unique heritage shapes the way we do our day-to-day activities.

For more than half a century, we have been going from strength to strength along with the nation of the UAE, the place that we call our home. We take great pride to be part of the UAE growth story as we lend our hand in building up the country. We credit our endurance to the guiding principles laid down by our Founder and will continue to uphold his legacy of simplicity, honesty, and integrity in all that we do. Today, the businesses, solutions, and products within Juma Al Majid Holding Group touch lives across boundaries and geographies.
