From 1 restaurant in Dubai's Al Ghurair Centre, to 210 across all seven Emirates

For 30 years McDonald's UAE has grown alongside the UAE. This Union Day, we're celebrating the incredible and true stories of our employees, from all across the world - who made the impossible possible and proudly call the UAE their home.

Stars? Heroes? We’re not sure what to call them – but one thing we know for certain is that their stories are inspirational. So sit back and enjoy their McJourneys.
