Carrefour was introduced to the region in 1995 by the UAE-based company Majid Al Futtaim. Majid Al Futtaim owns the exclusive rights to operate Carrefour in 12 countries across the Middle East, Africa, and Asia, operating under its distinct name and “M” logo to underscore its dedication to local identity.

These markets include the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Egypt, Georgia, Iraq, Kenya, Kuwait, Lebanon, Pakistan, Qatar, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and Uganda.

Majid Al Futtaim is the full owner of its grocery retailing business and is not part of the Carrefour Group of entities.
