Emirates Post, now a 7X company, is the official postal operator of the UAE, boasting a century-long legacy of connecting people, businesses, and communities across the Emirates and the world. It provides reliable postal and non-postal services through a network of 109 post offices across the UAE.
Structure and Subsidiaries
Originally established under the General Directorate of Postal Services in 1972, the organization underwent several restructurings:

- 2019: Transformed into a Public Joint Stock Company, fully owned by the Emirates Investment Authority (EIA), and renamed Emirates Post Group Company.
Key subsidiaries under the Group include the Electronic Document Centre (EDC) and Wall Street Exchange. While NXN now operates the nationwide branch network, Emirates Post retains the national postal identity.
