At GITEX Global 2025, the DLD showcased its latest AI-driven projects and digital innovations. The department’s presence reflected its goal to make Dubai’s real estate sector smarter, more transparent and fully connected.
Redefining Tenant Experience With Next-Gen Digital Solutions
Dubai Land Department has entered into a cooperation agreement with Emirates NBD to digitise the leasing ecosystem and elevate the tenant experience. Majid Al Marri (CEO, Real Estate Registration, DLD) and Ahmed Al Qassim (Group Head, Wholesale Banking, Emirates NBD) signed the agreement during GITEX Global 2025. The deal seeks to develop integrated solutions for managing security deposits and rolling out innovative financing products.
This partnership underpins an infrastructure that supports leasing digital transformation, enhances transaction transparency and simplifies customer journeys through DLD’s smart applications and online portals.
AI-Powered Unified Customer Platform
DLD announced a collaboration with Microsoft at GITEX Global 2025 to introduce a unified CRM (Customer Relationship Management) platform built on Microsoft Dynamics 365. The goal is to connect all DLD channels, call centre, email, live chat, social media, smart app and official website, into one seamless customer experience.
The system uses AI and automation to track requests, monitor performance and improve response quality. With smarter analytics, DLD will gain a 360-degree view of customers to anticipate needs and speed up service. Part of this effort is Malik, the omni-channel chatbot, offering 24/7 support via WhatsApp, the smart app and the website. It initially handles common inquiries and plans to expand into broader real-estate transactions.
Investor AI Assistant to Elevate Investment Experience
DLD has partnered strategically with Google Cloud to harness its Data & AI capabilities for transforming real-estate investment decision-making. Under the Dubai Economic Agenda D33 and Real Estate Strategy 2033, the partnership introduces the DLD Investor AI Assistant, powered by Google Gemini. It offers a knowledge interface that turns vast real estate data into clear, reliable analytic insights.
Available via DLD’s website, it provides investors with comprehensive details on Dubai’s investment environment and processes. Features include an interactive podcast tool powered by Google NotebookLM, enabling users to convert investment-related documents into conversations and a human-centred design for better experience.
Digital Alliance to Power Smart City Management
Dubai Municipality and DLD have announced a strategic partnership to leverage ‘Digital Twin’ technologies and improve the emirate’s urban and environmental infrastructure. Their collaboration unifies government efforts in urban planning, real-estate data management and smart city practices to boost operational efficiency and deliver advanced digital services.
The joint initiatives include creating a comprehensive virtual model of Dubai through the Digital Twin project. They also involve launching a ‘Smart Buildings’ platform, providing detailed, real-time data on building usage, area, floors and economic activity.
Pilot Government Fee Payment via Digital Assets
Dubai’s Department of Finance (DOF) carried out an initial technical implementation to settle government service fees using digital assets (cryptocurrencies), with payments converted to UAE dirhams.
The pilot, conducted in collaboration with DLD via the DubaiPay platform and a Central Bank–licensed digital-asset system, covered a property map issuance service. DOF framed it as a test environment setup before full deployment. This aligns with Dubai’s push for advanced financial technologies and an integrated digital economy under the Dubai Cashless Strategy.
Fully Digital Real-Estate Transactions via Dubai Now App
DLD introduced its ‘Digital Sale’ service through the Dubai Now app at GITEX Global 2025, enabling fully digital registration and sale procedures. With this service, contracts are created, signed, transferred and executed entirely online using UAE Pass electronic signatures.
Ownership certificates are then issued instantly, completing the process from seller to buyer. Eligible buyers and sellers need an Emirates ID, an active UAE Pass account and must transact properties within freehold zones free of mortgages.
