Sharjah’s property market has witnessed a remarkable surge in Kuwaiti investment, with figures reaching Dh1.049 billion in 2025—a substantial 73% increase from previous years. This growth underscores deepening economic ties between the United Arab Emirates and Kuwait, reflecting robust confidence in Sharjah’s investment landscape bolstered by legislative stability and advanced infrastructure.
The latest data released by the Sharjah Real Estate Registration Department during UAE–Kuwait Relations Week reveals Kuwaiti nationals now hold ownership of 5,660 properties in the emirate. The investment presence extends beyond mere ownership, with Kuwaiti investors playing a pioneering role as some of the earliest real estate developers in Sharjah, currently managing 13 active development projects.
Trading activity showed exceptional dynamism, with Kuwaiti investors transacting 868 properties in 2025, representing a 51.7% growth from the 573 properties traded in 2024. The number of individual Kuwaiti investors similarly expanded to 811—a 38.2% increase from the previous year’s 587 investors.
Abdulaziz Ahmed Al-Shamsi, Director General of the Sharjah Real Estate Registration Department, emphasized that these investments reflect the profound fraternal and historical relations between the two nations. ‘Kuwaiti investors demonstrate clear confidence in Sharjah’s secure and stimulating investment environment, supported by flexible legislation, advanced real estate services, and a sustainable development vision,’ Al-Shamsi stated. He further noted that Sharjah’s appeal to Kuwaiti investors signifies aligned values and visions, embodying a genuine economic partnership that continues to flourish, particularly within the real estate sector—a key driver of economic development.
