Could artificial intelligence change the way Dubai invests in property?

For Dubai’s real estate market, that question may be: What if artificial intelligence could help people understand where the market is heading before trends become obvious?

That is the ambition behind dataHabibi, a Dubai-based startup founded by Ibrahim Qorraj and Haron Merzaie, who are developing AI-powered tools designed to simplify complex property data and make market insights more accessible.

Dubai’s real estate sector generates millions of data points every year, from property transactions and rental movements to new developments and neighbourhood activity. While information is abundant, understanding what it all means can be overwhelming.

dataHabibi aims to transform that complexity into clarity.

By combining artificial intelligence with large-scale market analysis, the platform is designed to help users interpret trends more efficiently and support informed property decisions. Rather than replacing professional advice, the technology seeks to provide an additional layer of intelligence for investors, buyers and industry professionals.

The startup reflects a broader shift taking place across the UAE, where artificial intelligence is becoming an increasingly important part of finance, healthcare, logistics and now real estate.

For Qorraj and Merzaie, the vision is straightforward: make sophisticated market intelligence easier to access through technology while showcasing how innovation developed in Dubai can have global relevance.

As Dubai continues attracting international investors and expanding its property sector, demand for faster and smarter decision-making tools is expected to grow.

Whether AI ultimately changes how people invest remains to be seen, but one thing is becoming increasingly clear. The future of real estate may not be driven solely by location, price or timing. It may also be shaped by the quality of the intelligence behind every decision.
