The Muslim marriage app for Dubai.
Dubai is home to Muslims from more than a hundred countries. Zawaj helps Dubai residents meet someone who is ready for nikah, whatever their background.
A global city, and a lonely search.
Dubai’s Muslim residents include South Asian, Arab, Southeast Asian, African and Western communities, along with many reverts. Most live far from family, and few have a ready-made network for introductions.
Zawaj lets you search across Dubai, the UAE and beyond, with privacy and the option to involve family back home through the Chaperone/Wali feature.
Built for how Dubai Muslims actually search.
Dubai and the wider UAE
Search Dubai, Sharjah, Abu Dhabi and Ajman, or widen to the Gulf and your home country.
Far from family, still involved
Your wali or parents can join the conversation from anywhere.
Many backgrounds
Filter by practice and background, or keep your search open.
Nikah and marriage in the UAE.
Marriage procedures in the UAE depend on your nationality, residency and religion, and they involve official documents and the courts or authorised officials. Rules on marriage differ between countries and between citizens and residents, so confirm the current requirements with the relevant authority before you set a date. See our guide to nikah for expats in the Gulf.
