Magrabi Optical, considered as one of the pioneers in the world of eye care and optical in the Kingdom, was founded in 1927 with the launch of the eye medical center. In 1955, Magrabi Hospitals and Centers were built to provide internationally renowned eye care to millions across the Middle East, the GCC and North Africa.
In 1981, Magrabi Optical opened its first optical store in Jeddah and since then it expanded across Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Egypt, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Oman, Qatar and the UAE, which made it the largest eyewear and sunglasses retail chain in the Middle East and North Africa, with over 160 retail outlets.
Through the retail network’s expansion, and building on the solid foundation of the state-of-the-art technology, Magrabi Optical has taken the brand into a journey to transform it into one of the top international optical retailers by launching its first network in Turkey, which will become the hub for Magrabi Optical’s future expansion plans in Central & Eastern Europe.
