The Dubai Land Department is getting two new leaders at a time when the city’s property market is marking record-breaking growth.
According to Executive Council Resolution No. (48) of 2025, Majid Saqr Abdullah Al Marri has been appointed as the CEO of the Real Estate Registration Sector at the Dubai Land Department. Meanwhile, Majida Ali Rashid was appointed as the CEO of the Real Estate Development Sector at the Dubai Land Department, according to Executive Council Resolution No. (49) of 2025.
In his capacity as the Chairman of the Executive Council of Dubai, His Highness Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai, Deputy Prime Minister, and Minister of Defence, issued the two resolutions which will become effective from their date of issuance and will be published in the Official Gazette.
The leadership shifts at the Dubai Land Department come at a time when the department is playing a crucial role in developing the city’s property sector. This week, it has signed a memorandum of cooperation with Crypto.com to establish a digital investment environment for virtual real estate assets and to explore the application of blockchain technologies and digital currencies within the sector.

The signing of the deal follows the announcement of the Dubai Government’s plans to enable the payment of government fees using digital currencies—an important step forward in integrating technology with public services and reinforcing the emirate’s leadership in government innovation.
The Dubai Land Department has also launched the region’s first real estate tokenization platform this year, enabling individual investors to purchase tokenized shares in premium, ready-to-own properties in Dubai.
