The Dubai Land Department is welcoming two new executives as the city’s booming property sector continues to hit historic highs.
Majid Saqr Abdullah Al Marri has been named CEO of the Real Estate Registration Sector through Executive Council Resolution No. (48) of 2025. Simultaneously, Executive Council Resolution No. (49) of 2025 confirms the appointment of Majida Ali Rashid as CEO of the Real Estate Development Sector.
These appointments were made by His Highness Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai and Chairman of the Executive Council. The resolutions are effective immediately and will be published in the Official Gazette.
The leadership changes come as the Land Department plays an increasingly influential role in shaping Dubai’s real estate landscape. This week, the department entered into a strategic agreement with Crypto.com to create a digital ecosystem for virtual property investments and to assess how blockchain and digital currencies can be applied in the sector.
This collaboration aligns with Dubai’s recent move to allow government fees to be paid in digital currencies, underscoring the emirate’s commitment to technological integration and innovation in public services.
Earlier this year, the department also launched the region’s first platform for real estate tokenization, enabling investors to buy fractional ownership in high-value, ready-to-move-in properties across Dubai.
