Sharjah Rent Prices: What Portals Report and Why They Differ
A sourced look at reported rent figures in Sharjah, with the reason different websites give very different numbers.
Quick answer
Published rent figures for Sharjah vary a lot because sources use different methods, dates and units. One 2026 analysis gives about AED 2,200 per month for a studio, while a portal guide shows studios around AED 19,000 to 22,000 per year in popular areas. Always check the unit (monthly or yearly), the area and the date.
Reported figures by area
These are the clearly attributed figures we found. They are third-party portal data, reported as published, and not our own measurement.
| Area | Home size | Reported yearly rent (AED) | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| Al Taawun | Studio | about 22,000 | Property Finder |
| Al Taawun | 1 bedroom | about 31,000 | Property Finder |
| Al Taawun | 2 bedrooms | about 42,000 | Property Finder |
| Al Majaz | 1 bedroom | about 31,000 | Bayut |
| Al Majaz | 2 bedrooms | about 41,000 | Bayut |
| Al Khan | Apartments (all sizes) | 30,000 to 97,000 (range) | Property Finder |
| Al Qasba | Apartments (all sizes) | 34,000 to 58,000 (range) | Property Finder |
| Aljada | Apartments (all sizes) | 26,000 to 78,000 (range) | Property Finder |
Property Finder states that its prices come from its last twelve months of listing data. Bayut's page does not show its data period in the version we read.
Why the numbers do not agree
Sands of Wealth reports an average of about AED 2,200 per month for a studio across Sharjah in 2026, which is about AED 26,400 per year. Bayut reports studios at about AED 19,000 per year in some areas, and Property Finder about AED 22,000 in Al Taawun. These are not necessarily wrong. They can differ because of:
- Area mix. A city-wide average includes premium communities such as Aljada, Al Zahia and Maryam Island, which Sands of Wealth says command clear premiums.
- Method. Listing asking prices, signed contracts and modelled estimates give different results.
- Date. Rents moved during 2025 and 2026, and old pages are not always updated.
- Units. Some sources quote per month, others per year.
How to use these numbers
Treat them as a starting range, then compare current listings in the specific building and check official tenancy rules before you sign. Our Find my area tool uses the same sourced figures and marks areas with no verified figure.
What we still need to verify
- The data period for each Bayut figure.
- Official rent index or registry figures for Sharjah, if published.
- Figures for Al Nahda and Muwaileh, which we have not found clearly attributed.
Frequently asked questions
What is the average rent for a 1-bedroom in Sharjah?

Why do websites give different rent prices for Sharjah?
They use different datasets (listings, transactions or models), different time periods and different units, such as AED per month or per year.
