These goals are closely aligned with the Dubai 2040 Urban Master Plan, aimed at nurturing a sustainable and prosperous future for the emirate.

Founded in September 2024, Mada Media operates as a Private Joint-Stock Company under Law No. (20) issued by Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai. The firm is tasked with managing and enhancing Dubai’s OOH advertising sector while also upholding the city’s visual coherence and sustainability objectives.

Other board members include Badr Ahmed Anwahi, Maryam Obaid Al Muhairi, Mohammed Yousef Al Mudharreb, Ahmed Hassan Mahboub, Moaza Saeed Al Marri, Shehab Hamad Bu Shehab, and Saeed Mohammed Al Marri.

Bringing a wealth of experience in finance and strategic governance, Al Sabahi previously held senior positions at prominent financial institutions and the Roads and Transport Authority, where he last served as Director of the Commercial and Investment Department. His contributions were vital in advancing the RTA’s public-private partnership initiatives and investment strategy.
