Carrefour was introduced to the region in 1995 by UAE-based Majid Al Futtaim, which holds the exclusive rights to operate Carrefour under its own distinct branding and “M” logo.

Today, Carrefour operates across 10 countries in the Middle East, Africa, and Asia, including the United Arab Emirates, Egypt, Georgia, Iraq, Kenya, Lebanon, Pakistan, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and Uganda.

Majid Al Futtaim is the full owner of its grocery retailing business, and Carrefour in the region is not part of the Carrefour Group of entities.
