Dubai Land Department (DLD), through its Real Estate Regulatory Agency (RERA), has forged strategic partnerships with Property Finder, Bayut Web Publishing, and Dubizzle to elevate local talent and promote awareness within Dubai’s real estate sector.
These collaborations are aimed at fostering an exceptional training environment to enhance service efficiency, elevate customer satisfaction, and drive advancements in line with industry best practices and standards.
The signing ceremonies of these agreements were held alongside the ‘Tamkeen Real Estate Workshop’ organised by DLD on March 4.
The event saw the participation of key figures, including Marwan bin Ghalita, Acting Director General of Dubai Land Department, representatives from various organisations such as the Emirati Human Resources Development Council – Dubai, and real estate companies like Property Finder, Bayut Web Publishing, and Dubizzle.
Empowering citizens stands as a paramount objective for DLD, as emphasised by Marwan bin Ghalita.
The initiative aligns with the directives outlined in Dubai’s Social Agenda 33 and Economic Agenda D33, aiming to integrate Emiratis and enhance their participation in the private sector.

As per the agreements, specialized training programs will be devised to bolster localisation endeavours, facilitating citizens’ employment or entrepreneurship ventures. This includes organizing seminars, workshops, and real estate conferences to address pertinent issues and highlight the sector’s current landscape.
The partnerships aim to advance smart and digital services within Dubai’s real estate sector, aligning with the Emirate’s vision for technological advancement and innovation.
