Dubai Islamic Bank has opened a new real estate office in Sharjah, one of the northern emirates in the UAE, on February 28. The office aims to provide commercial real estate finance services and products such as murabaha (property purchase finance), istisnaa (construction finance) and musharaka (cash against property finance). Sharjah is the bank’s second office to open since the end of last year following the real estate finance department’s first branch inauguration at the Dubai Land Department.
