MENA PropTech Startups to Watch in 2026

MENA PropTech Startups to Watch in 2026

August 10, 2025

2024 spotlighted a new wave of proptech startups across the MENA region, from rent-now-pay-later disruptors to digital mortgage pioneers. These ventures are bold, fast-moving, and ready to redefine how real estate is bought, rented, and invested.

Leading the charge are Sakan (Kuwait), expanding its integrated marketplace across five Gulf nations, and Ejari (Saudi Arabia), reshaping how 70% of Saudis handle rent with its RNPL model. Dubai’s PRYPCO simplifies home loans and fractional ownership, while Saudi’s Rize raised $35M to normalize monthly lease payments. Other rising stars include Darent, Arktech, HissaTech, Holo, Bird Nest, and Ayen, each tackling unique challenges from authentic stays to fractional investing and property inspections.
