For Mohammed Arif, a Dubai Mall worker, this would have been a precious moment captured on camera. With a bottle of cleaning liquid hanging from a piece of cloth tied over his waist, Arif is seen standing shoulder-to-shoulder with Mohamed Alabbar, Emirati businessman and founder of Emaar, the parent company of Dubai Mall.
The billionaire has his arm around the worker’s shoulders in the photo that Alabbar shared with his thousands of followers on social media. He posted a poignant tribute: “People like Arif are the reason behind Dubai Mall's glamour and success.”
Transguard Group reposted the photo, highlighting the “proud moment”.
“Well done, Mohamed Arif. Your hard work and excellence represent everything we stand for,” the group posted with the photo.
