Al Habtoor Group

The company has been a major contractor in Dubai since the late 1970s and has been responsible for many of that city’s largest and most well-known landmarks. The company’s projects include the massive “seven-star” Burj Al Arab hotel complex, as well as most of the Dubai airport, and the Abu Dhabi airport.

 Al Habtoor is also one of the top construction and engineering firms in the Middle East, with projects in Qatar, Abu Dhabi, Bahrain, Egypt, and Jordan. While construction was the group’s original business, and remains its largest operation, Al Habtoor has long established diversified holdings including automotive sales through Al Habtoor Motors, which holds concessions for Aston Martin, Bentley, Bugatti, and Mitsubishi; the company also operates a motor leasing subsidiary, Diamondlease.

Al Habtoor owns and manages the Metropolitan hotel brand, including seven hotels in Dubai and Jordan, through subsidiary Habtoor Hospitality L.L.C. Al Habtoor Real Estate controls a number of prime Dubai properties, such as the vast complex encompassing Al Habtoor Residence, Habtoor House, the Metropolitan Hotel, and Metroplex-the Entertainment & Leisure Complex.
