Sari is the fastest way to rent a home in Dubai. FIND Browse verified homes on a list or a map.

VIEW IN 15 MINUTES Tap Book viewing and a Sari coordinator meets you at the door within 15 minutes. Busy today? Pick any half hour from 11:00 to 21:00, up to a week ahead. Follow your coordinator on the map as they arrive. SIGN ON THE SPOT Like the home? Read the full contract before you commit, verify your identity, and sign the tenancy right after the viewing. Payments and your move-in are handled in the app. NO SURPRISES Every listing is checked by Sari and shows its Dubai Land Department advertising permit where one is issued. Everything you pay is shown before you pay it. A 30 AED hold secures a booking made from far away or days ahead, and is released after the viewing. FOR OWNERS List your property, and Sari prepares the listing, shows it and brings you a verified tenant. Sari is operated by INTRUST REAL ESTATE (L.L.C), a real-estate brokerage licensed in Dubai.
