Our story

The first human car.

For over a century, cars have moved us without feeling us. MAYS was founded in Muscat in 2019 to change that.

Maysoor, the Omani champion horse

Inspired by a champion

The same spirit. A new journey.

From Maysoor, a legendary Omani champion horse, to a new generation of mobility.

Heritage

Chapter one · The name

Named after a champion who never lost.

Maysoor was a legendary Omani racehorse. He raced internationally, against the best, and never lost a race. Strength, grace and a quiet certainty. That is the spirit we wanted every MAYS to carry.

Chapter two · Why we started

Driving is stressful. Premium cars are out of reach. And no car on the road knows who is driving it.

Voice assistants take commands, but none reads the person giving them. Premium design starts at prices most families can't reach. We believed a car could be both accessible and deeply personal.

So we built Mays AI in-house, Arabic first, to read face, voice and posture and to look after the driver. Then we built a range of cars around it.

Human State Engine

From stressed to calm, in one drive.

Watch what Mays does when it senses stress. The mind settles, the heart slows and the face relaxes, one small change at a time.
