In Abu Dhabi, the Arabic Majlis is more than just a seating arrangement; it is a “Place of Sitting” where heritage is passed down through generations. At Zohaib Furniture, we understand the nuances of local preferences. While Dubai often leans toward ultra-modern aesthetics, our Abu Dhabi clients frequently appreciate a blend of timeless tradition and contemporary craftsmanship.

1. Traditional Ground Majlis (Floor Seating)

For those who prefer the authentic experience of the desert’s heritage, our traditional floor-seating Majlis is the gold standard. These designs feature deep, high-density foam for support and are often upholstered in classic Sadu patterns or rich, heavy velvets. They are particularly popular in the spacious villas of Mohammed Bin Zayed City (MBZ) and Shakhbout City, where large family gatherings are a weekly tradition.

2. Modern Elevated Majlis (The Sofa-Style Majlis)

As architectural styles in Abu Dhabi evolve, so does the Majlis. In developments like Yas Island and Saadiyat Island, many homeowners choose “Elevated Majlis” seating. These units sit on solid wood frames, offering the height of a luxury sofa while maintaining the continuous, wrap-around seating format that defines a Majlis. This style is perfect for those who want a sophisticated, formal look that still facilitates open conversation.

3. The “Diwan” & Guest Seating

We also specialize in the Diwan style, featuring high backs and intricate armrest details. These are often used in formal guest Majlis rooms where a sense of prestige and royal comfort is paramount.

The capital’s climate can be demanding on furniture. From the coastal humidity of Al Maryah Island to the dry heat of the interior, your Majlis must be built to last.

• High-Density “Grey” Foam: We use only the highest grade of foam that offers “bounce-back” technology. This ensures that even with frequent guests, your Majlis maintains its firm, regal shape for years to come.

• Premium Fabric Sourcing: We offer a curated library of over 500+ swatches, including spill-resistant Turkish fabrics and breathable cotton blends. For homes with children or frequent tea service, our “Easy-Clean” range is a favorite.

• Solid Wood Internal Frames: Every elevated Majlis we build for our Abu Dhabi clients is constructed with a reinforced solid wood frame, ensuring stability and a squeak-free experience.

The Zohaib Furniture Customization Process

We don’t believe in “one size fits all.” A Majlis must be perfectly proportioned to the room it occupies.

Precision Measurement Across the Capital

Our team provides professional measurement services throughout the Emirate. We visit your location—whether it’s in Al Raha Beach or Baniyas—to take laser-accurate dimensions. This ensures that your Majlis fits perfectly into corners and doesn’t obstruct AC vents or light switches.

Bespoke Aesthetic Design

You have full control over the design details.

• Upholstery: Choose from classic patterns, minimalist solids, or luxury textures.

• Trimmings: Add traditional gold-threaded tassels or keep it sleek with hidden seams.

• Complementary Accessories: We can also create matching coffee tables (Mabkhara stands) and side units to complete the look.

Maintenance Tips for Your Abu Dhabi Majlis

To keep your Majlis looking pristine in the UAE environment:

• Weekly Dusting: Given the dust levels in Abu Dhabi, we recommend a light vacuuming with a soft brush attachment once a week.

• Rotation: If your Majlis has removable cushions, rotate them monthly to ensure even wear from sun exposure and usage.

• Fabric Protection: For high-traffic Majlis rooms, we offer a specialized fabric protection coating that makes spills easy to blot away before they stain.

How long does it take to deliver a custom Majlis in Abu Dhabi?

Once the measurements are taken and the fabric is selected, we typically manufacture and deliver your custom Majlis within 10 to 14 working days.

Do you provide home visits for measurements in Khalifa City?

Yes! We offer professional home consultations and measurement services across all areas of Abu Dhabi, including Khalifa City, MBZ, Yas Island, and Al Samha.

Can I customize the firmness of the seating?

Absolutely. We can adjust the density of the foam to your preference—whether you prefer a firm “Royal” seat or a softer, “Cloud-like” feel for casual family use.

Do you offer a warranty on your Majlis furniture?

Yes, all our custom-made Majlis units come with a structural warranty on the frame and the foam integrity, giving you peace of mind for your investment.
