In a digital landscape teeming with online marketplaces, dubizzle has become the most trusted and reliable in the UAE. While numerous options for buying, selling and renting have come and gone, none have been able to overtake or even come close to the popularity and love dubizzle enjoys.
While it can be daunting to navigate social media marketplaces due to a lack of trust and authenticity, dubizzle has taken the onus of providing the most secure environment for online buyers through verified users, trusted listings and strong safety measures, ensuring a smooth and reliable transaction experience.
Why trust dubizzle over other platforms?
Verified Users on dubizzle - who authenticate their accounts with personal information and Emirates ID - benefit from an added layer of security, whether they are buying or selling. By leveraging advanced verification tools and manual moderation, dubizzle uses its considerable technical expertise to minimise negative activity and enhance user confidence.
In addition, dubizzle strongly urges all buyers and sellers to keep their conversations within the platform’s chat channel, ensuring that interactions are monitored and easily tracked. This protects users from scams and unauthorised transactions, as any activity outside the dubizzle platform falls beyond its security measures.
As well as being a trusted marketplace, dubizzle offers a range of value-added services for cars, designed to simplify the buying and selling process. With 'dubizzle Cars Inspection', buyers can ensure the vehicle’s condition before making a purchase. 'Managed by dubizzle' takes the hassle out of selling by managing the entire process, from listing to finalising the deal. To further support users, dubizzle provides banking and loan facilitation, insurance assistance, and Tasjeel registration services, making it a comprehensive solution for all automotive transactions in the UAE.
With an intuitive interface and powerful search filters, dubizzle makes discovering and securing the right deal effortless. Whether you're finding a new home, selling your car or hiring for your business, the platform is designed for efficiency, convenience and trust, and as one of the UAE’s most widely recognised marketplaces, dubizzle connects millions of users every month. This expansive reach ensures that sellers gain maximum visibility, while buyers enjoy access to a vast selection of listings across multiple categories.
Now celebrating its 20th anniversary, dubizzle hosts an average of 650,000 ads monthly across categories, attracting 190 million views and engaging 5 million buyers and sellers each month. dubizzle Cars sees an average of 45,000 ads and 75 million views monthly, connecting 2 million buyers and sellers, while dubizzle Property features an average of 275,000 listings, 40 million views, and 1 million monthly users, solidifying dubizzle’s unmatched reach and reliability.
Haider Khan, chief executive of dubizzle, said trust is the foundation of everything dubizzle does.
"We are committed to keep working towards a secure, transparent and efficient online marketplace where users can buy and sell with complete confidence," he said.
"Our continued investment in technology, verification and user experience upholds our dedication towards making dubizzle the go-to platform for a safe and seamless experience in the UAE. We’re not just a classifieds portal, we are a household name for every buying and selling need."

Chancellor Rachel Reeves set markets on edge as she appeared visibly distraught in parliament on Wednesday.
Legislative setbacks for the government have blown a new hole in the budgetary calculations at a time when the deficit is stubbornly large and the economy is struggling to grow.
She appeared with Keir Starmer on Wednesday and the pair embraced but he failed to give her his backing as she cried a day earlier.
A spokesman said her upset demeanour was due to a personal matter.

How to wear a kandura
Dos
- Wear the right fabric for the right season and occasion
- Always ask for the dress code if you don’t know
- Wear a white kandura, white ghutra / shemagh (headwear) and black shoes for work
- Wear 100 per cent cotton under the kandura as most fabrics are polyester
Don’ts
- Wear hamdania for work, always wear a ghutra and agal
- Buy a kandura only based on how it feels; ask questions about the fabric and understand what you are buying
The biog
Alwyn Stephen says much of his success is a result of taking an educated chance on business decisions.
His advice to anyone starting out in business is to have no fear as life is about taking on challenges.
“If you have the ambition and dream of something, follow that dream, be positive, determined and set goals.
"Nothing and no-one can stop you from succeeding with the right work application, and a little bit of luck along the way.”
Mr Stephen sells his luxury fragrances at selected perfumeries around the UAE, including the House of Niche Boutique in Al Seef.
He relaxes by spending time with his family at home, and enjoying his wife’s India cooking.

Pharaoh's curse
British aristocrat Lord Carnarvon, who funded the expedition to find the Tutankhamun tomb, died in a Cairo hotel four months after the crypt was opened.
He had been in poor health for many years after a car crash, and a mosquito bite made worse by a shaving cut led to blood poisoning and pneumonia.
Reports at the time said Lord Carnarvon suffered from “pain as the inflammation affected the nasal passages and eyes”.
Decades later, scientists contended he had died of aspergillosis after inhaling spores of the fungus aspergillus in the tomb, which can lie dormant for months. The fact several others who entered were also found dead withiin a short time led to the myth of the curse.

Closing the loophole on sugary drinks
As The National reported last year, non-fizzy sugared drinks were not covered when the original tax was introduced in 2017. Sports drinks sold in supermarkets were found to contain, on average, 20 grams of sugar per 500ml bottle.
The non-fizzy drink AriZona Iced Tea contains 65 grams of sugar – about 16 teaspoons – per 680ml can. The average can costs about Dh6, which would rise to Dh9.
Drinks such as Starbucks Bottled Mocha Frappuccino contain 31g of sugar in 270ml, while Nescafe Mocha in a can contains 15.6g of sugar in a 240ml can.
Flavoured water, long-life fruit juice concentrates, pre-packaged sweetened coffee drinks fall under the ‘sweetened drink’ category
Not taxed:
Freshly squeezed fruit juices, ground coffee beans, tea leaves and pre-prepared flavoured milkshakes do not come under the ‘sweetened drink’ band.
