SHARJAH, UAE – The Aqari platform, developed by the Sharjah Digital Department in collaboration with more than 20 local and federal government entities, has rapidly become the unified digital hub for real estate services in Sharjah, completing over 2,000 transactions in just six months.
Launched under the umbrella of the Digital Sharjah initiative, Aqari integrates a wide range of services into a single ecosystem accessible through digital channels and mobile apps on both Android and iOS. The platform aims to accelerate the emirate’s digital transformation while strengthening its real estate sector.
Expanding Sharjah’s digital real estate ecosystem
Since launch, Aqari has registered more than 42,000 new real estate units, over 1,300 buildings, and more than 2 million square metres of vacant land. Twelve government service centres have fully adopted the platform, achieving a 100% utilisation rate, while over 90 certified administrators ensure smooth processing of all digital transactions.
The services currently offered include company management, Power of Attorney registration, and real estate unit enrolment. Future updates will expand into rental services, dispute resolution, property transactions, and customised tools for developers and brokers.
Sheikh Saud bin Sultan Al Qasimi, Director-General of Sharjah Digital Department and Chairman of the Committee for the Integrated Real Estate Services Platform Project ‘Aqari’, said,
“The success of the Aqari platform within just six months reflects our strategic vision for Sharjah’s digital transformation. It underscores our commitment to enhancing the emirate’s competitiveness by building an integrated digital ecosystem that drives sustainable development, rooted in innovation and good governance, while placing people at the heart of every advancement.“
He added, “By unifying real estate services under a single platform with a comprehensive database, we not only streamline procedures and improve government efficiency, but also strengthen transparency, investor confidence, and data-driven decision-making.“
What it means for Indian investors
For Indian investors, who are among the largest property buyers in the UAE, the Sharjah Aqari real estate platform offers several advantages. The ability to complete transactions remotely through digital tools reduces travel, paperwork, and processing delays. The platform’s transparency and centralised data improve confidence for those seeking long-term investments outside Dubai.
With Sharjah’s proximity to Dubai and lower entry price points compared to prime Dubai neighbourhoods, Aqari provides an accessible and regulated gateway for Indian buyers exploring diversification across the UAE property market.
