About Amlak Finance
Amlak Finance is a Dubai-based Islamic finance company that was established in 2000 and specialises in real estate financing. It was one of the first companies in the UAE to offer Sharia-compliant home finance when property ownership opened up to foreign buyers in Dubai.
Its products have included financing for homes and commercial property using Islamic structures, such as Ijara, a lease-to-own arrangement, and other Sharia-compliant contracts.
Amlak was closely linked to Dubai's early property boom and was affected by the global financial crisis of 2008, after which its shares were suspended from trading for several years while it restructured its finances with creditors.
The company later resumed trading and continued working through its restructuring plan.
Its story reflects how closely real estate finance companies are tied to the property market cycle.
Islamic home finance remains an important segment in the UAE, with banks and finance companies offering products for buyers who prefer Sharia-compliant options.
