Dubai South is one of Dubai’s largest master-planned urban developments, spanning 145 square kilometres and centred around Al Maktoum International Airport, which is set to become the world’s largest airport upon completion.

With owned assets valued at $20 billion, Majid Al Futtaim has the highest credit rating (BBB) among privately held companies in the region.
