Where is Al Qarayen?

Al Qarayen belongs to the Muwaileh suburb and lies between University City Road and Al Dhaid Road (E88), with Al Noaf and Hoshi among its neighbours. In 2014 the Sharjah Roads and Transport Authority announced a 43 km internal roads project covering all three, with street lighting, power and water networks.

University City, home to the University of Sharjah and the American University of Sharjah, is right next door, and Sharjah International Airport is a short drive away. Our office is on the same Maliha Road, in the Al Badie suburb.

Al Qarayen 1 to 5: what is in each district

Villas and plot sizes

Al Qarayen is mainly detached villas, most behind high walls with private gardens. A typical villa has a majlis (formal guest sitting room), a maid's room, a large kitchen and covered parking.

What sets it apart is plot size: most villas on the market here sit on plots of roughly 15,000 to 20,000 sq ft. That sometimes means two villas on one plot, or an annex and a large yard.

Getting around

In practice you need a car: public transport inside the districts is limited. Maliha Road takes you to Emirates Road and on to Dubai, and Al Dhaid Road to the rest of the emirates.

Because Al Qarayen is close to Sharjah International Airport, listen for aircraft noise when you view a villa; it varies from one street to another.

Who can buy in Al Qarayen?

Property ownership in Sharjah is mainly limited to UAE and GCC citizens, with exceptions set by law. All nationalities may own freehold, with no time limit, in approved real estate development projects.

Some projects and plots offer freehold to Arab nationalities, or a usufruct right (a long-term right to use the property) of up to 100 years to others. This differs from one property to another.

Before you buy, we confirm the type of ownership open to your nationality for the villa you choose in Al Qarayen. It is made official at registration with the Sharjah Real Estate Registration Department.
