Dubai real estate advertising rules for Meta and Google ads

Before you run property ads in Dubai, each ad needs a valid advertising permit from the Dubai Land Department (DLD), issued through its Trakheesi system, and must run under the name of a licensed brokerage or developer. Claims must be accurate: no guaranteed returns or misleading prices. On Meta, property ads also follow Meta’s housing ad rules. ExtraMiles runs every property ad under your licensed name with a valid permit number.

A written month-1 lead target. Miss it, and month 2’s fees are free.

1. Get a permit for each ad

The Dubai Land Department requires an advertising permit for property ads, issued through Trakheesi. Apply before the campaign goes live and show the permit details the DLD requires on the ad and landing page. Ads without a valid permit risk fines and removal.

2. Advertise under your licensed name

Property ads must come from a licensed brokerage or the registered developer. Use your official brokerage name on the ad, the Facebook page and the landing page, so buyers and regulators see who is advertising.

3. Keep every claim accurate

State real prices, payment plans and handover dates. Do not promise guaranteed returns or rental yields. Honest ads also bring better leads, because buyers who reply already know the facts.

4. Follow the platform’s rules

Meta reviews housing ads under its own policies and may limit how they can be targeted. Google has its own policies for real estate and financial claims. Build campaigns that pass review the first time, so a launch is not delayed.

5. Screen and reply fast

Compliant ads are only half the job. Screening questions on budget, timeline and buyer type, and a WhatsApp reply within minutes, decide whether a lead becomes a viewing.

    FAQ

    Questions real estate brokers and developers ask us

    Do I need a DLD permit to advertise property on Facebook and Instagram?

    Yes. Property ads in Dubai need a valid DLD advertising permit, issued through the Trakheesi system, whatever the platform. Check the DLD’s current requirements for each ad.

    Can I promise a guaranteed rental return in an ad?

    You should not. Ads must be accurate and not misleading, and ExtraMiles does not run ads that promise guaranteed returns.

    Do the same rules apply in Abu Dhabi?

    No. Abu Dhabi has its own real estate regulator and advertising rules, separate from Dubai’s DLD.

    Will ExtraMiles handle the permit?

    ExtraMiles runs every property ad under your licensed brokerage or developer name with your valid DLD permit number, and builds the ads and landing pages to match.
