Dubai Ruler directs Meraas to become part of Dubai Holding
 

Under the directives of the Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE, and Ruler of Dubai, HH Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Meraas will join forces with Dubai Holding in an effort to sustain and advance growth through a unified and integrated vision that builds on gains, spurs efforts, and boosts Dubai’s global competitiveness.

Meraas is set to become part of Dubai Holding, under the leadership of His Highness Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum.

Dubai Holding lists Jumeirah Group, Dubai Properties, and TECOM Group among its portfolio. TECOM Group alone owns and operates 10 sector-focused business clusters, with Dubai Internet City and Dubai Media City being the flagships.

Meraas has launched several projects in multiple sectors including real estate, retail, hospitality, food and beverage, leisure and entertainment and healthcare.

Meraas will join Dubai Holding to further develop a highly diversified conglomerate operating in several sectors across real estate, tourism, hospitality, leisure and entertainment and investments.

The move is set to combine a complementary suite of services and expertise to diversify the economy and maximise their competitiveness in the global marketplace, according to the state-run Dubai Media Office.

This strategic vision will provide a platform to address the growing demand for specialised services globally and seeks to leverage new opportunities that are emerging and serve the global demand expected in the long term.
