About Majid Al Futtaim’s Communities
Majid Al Futtaim’s tagline, “great moments for everyone, every day”, represents the company’s ongoing commitment to providing exceptional experiences for over 26 years. Starting as a shopping and retail company with popular names like City Centre, Carrefour and Magic Planet under the banner, they have launched many more successful brands, including VOX Cinemas, Ski Dubai and THAT Concept Store.
MAF’s first real estate venture in the UAE is Dubai’s Tilal Al Ghaf community. This was followed by Al Zahia in Sharjah. They also have communities in other countries: Al Mouj and Tilal Al Irfan in Oman and Waterfront City in Lebanon. Each community has built a name for offering havens for families and individuals to flourish and live a lavish lifestyle.

Tilal Al Ghaf is still under construction and is expected to be fully completed and handed over in 2027. However, several envy-inducing stunning villas in Elan and Harmony are ready to live in.

Al Zahia by Majid Al Futtaim offers the best of contemporary living in Sharjah. This community spans 1 million sq. m. and is one of the seven neighbourhoods of Muwaileh, an area on the outskirts of the emirate. Al Zahia features villas, townhomes and residential apartments, giving residents access to landscaped gardens, a swimming pool and a gymnasium.
Notable neighbourhoods in Al Zahia include Uptown Zahia, Al Jouri, Camelia and Garden Apartments. Exciting amenities like a Clubhouse, a lush park (aptly named Central Park) and dining and shopping facilities (North Hub and City Centre Zahia) are a stone’s throw away from the residential areas.
