About Me

Mohamed Alabbar is the founder of Dubai-based real estate developer Emaar Properties, which built the world's tallest tower, Burj Khalifa. He founded the firm in 1997 and took it public on the Dubai stock exchange in 2000. He stepped down as chairman in 2020. Most of Alabbar's fortune comes from his 33% stake in publicly traded Americana Restaurants, which owns fast food franchises in the Middle East. In 2014, Alabbar founded Eagle Hills in Abu Dhabi, which has developed high-end apartments, hotels and retail in 10 countries on three continents. Alabbar also owns stakes in Riyadh-based e-commerce platform Noon.com and Dubai-based digital bank Zand Bank.
