Hi, I’m Barkat Hussein Khan

The Founder of MAXOLA MOBILE PHONES TRADING L.L.C – Your Trusted Source for Original Mobile Phones and Accessories in Dubai, UAE Since 2008

MAXOLA Mobile Phones Trading LLC Founded in Dubai 2008 - History of Mobile Phone Retail in UAE

Back in 2008, Dubai was just recovering from the global financial crisis. Everyone said “this is not the time to start a business.” I believed the exact opposite — great companies are born in tough times. We started with a tiny office in Deira and just 4 people. Our first shipment was 1,200 Nokia N95 units brought from Hong Kong. Our very first customer, an Indian trader, bought 50 phones cash and said: “If these are original, I’ll buy from you for life.” That sale became the start of friendships that still last today.

From day one, I set two unbreakable rules that still stand today:
1. We only sell 100% original products — even if the profit is smaller.
2. When a customer buys from us, their mind must be completely at peace.

MAXOLA Warehouse in Jebel Ali Free Zone Dubai - Stocking Original Smartphones Samsung iPhone Xiaomi Accessories UAE

In 2011 we opened our first large warehouse in Jebel Ali. In 2012 we began exporting to Oman, Qatar and Bahrain. In 2014 we became one of the very first official Xiaomi distributors in the GCC — when most people still couldn’t pronounce the name! By 2016 we reached Pakistan, 2018 Saudi Arabia & Egypt, and later Kenya, Nigeria and Bangladesh. Today MAXOLA exports directly to more than 12 countries and our name has become synonymous with “genuine products at fair prices”.

Over these 17 years we faced storms: oil price crashes, trade wars, the COVID-19 pandemic that closed our warehouses for two months… But every time we came back stronger — with a bigger team, smarter systems, and most importantly, closer to our customers.

2025 — A New Chapter

After 17 years of strong physical presence in Dubai, Sharjah, Abu Dhabi and Jebel Ali,
we proudly launched BHK — our official online store.
Same MAXOLA quality, same commitment, same 17-year team…
now just one click away, wherever you are.

Every single morning I still personally read customer messages and reviews. If anyone ever says “Barkat, my phone has an issue,” I follow it up myself. Because we don’t just sell phones and accessories — we sell trust, and trust doesn’t end with a transaction.

BHK is the continuation of that 2008 dream:
The best technology, with complete peace of mind and fair prices — for everyone, everywhere in the region.
