About Aqar.me
Aqar.me is an online property listings platform for Syria. Owners publish their own listings directly, with no agent and no commission on the deal, and real-estate offices have a dedicated section where each office gets its own page to add its properties to. Apartments, land, villas, farms, shops, offices, warehouses and more are listed for sale and for rent across every Syrian province, city, district and neighbourhood, each with photos, price and area. The platform runs in Arabic and English and publishes prices in both US dollars and Syrian pounds.
Why we built Aqar.me
The idea came out of our own search. Looking for a property for the family, we worked through the local listing sites for months and got nowhere: the listings were fake, long expired, or too vague to act on. That gap was the reason to build something specialised. We spent the following period researching the market directly — talking to owners and investors, visiting advertised properties, and comparing what was published against what was actually there — and came away with a much clearer picture of what was wrong with real estate listings in Syria.
How it started
We started building in the fourth quarter of 2024. First the concept, then the search for a software foundation that could grow with it, and then a name: after a long shortlist we settled on Aqar Syria. From there it was heads-down work to finish the first step — launching the website — which we did in a remarkably short time, despite the constraints of that particular year.
What the platform does
The platform is open to everyone. An owner publishes their listing themselves, directly, with no agent and no commission on the deal, and a real-estate office gets a page of its own carrying its listings and its customer reviews. Every listing shows photos, price, area, location and a way to contact the advertiser. Anyone looking can browse listings on a map, save a search and be alerted when something matching is published, or post a property request if what they want is not listed yet. An optional promotion service runs a listing as a sponsored ad on Facebook and Telegram. The wider aim is to put the Syrian local market online — a window that can attract investment and make opportunities visible to everyone, not just to whoever happens to know the right person.

Frequently asked questions
- What is Aqar.me?
- Aqar.me is an online property listings platform for Syria. Owners publish their own listings directly, with no agent and no commission on the deal, and real-estate offices have a dedicated section with a page for each office. It covers every Syrian province, city, district and neighbourhood and runs in Arabic and English.
- Does Aqar.me charge commission?
- No. Aqar.me takes no commission on any sale or rental. Owners publish their listings themselves and deal with buyers and tenants directly. The only paid service is optional ad promotion, which is bought separately and is never required to publish a listing.
- How do I publish my property on Aqar.me?
- Create a free account, then add your listing with photos, price, area and location. It is published under your own name, so buyers and tenants contact you directly rather than going through an intermediary.
- Can a real-estate office have its own page on Aqar.me?
- Yes. Aqar.me has a dedicated section for real-estate offices, where each office gets its own page carrying its listings, contact details and customer reviews. Offices can be browsed by location from the offices section.
- What types of property are listed on Aqar.me?
- Apartments, land, villas, farms, chalets, rooms, shops, offices, warehouses, buildings, factories and halls, each available for sale or for rent.
- Which areas of Syria does Aqar.me cover?
- Every Syrian province, down to city, district and neighbourhood level. Listings can be browsed by location or searched on a map.
- Is there a map search on Aqar.me?
- Yes. You can browse listings on a map and see what is available around a specific spot instead of scrolling a list. Map search requires a free account.
- Can I save a search and be alerted about new listings?
- Yes. Save any search and Aqar.me notifies you when new listings match it, so you do not have to run the same search again. Saved searches require a free account.
- What if I cannot find the property I am looking for?
- Publish a property request describing what you want — type, location and budget — so advertisers holding something that matches can reach you. Property requests require a free account.
- How can I get more views on my listing?
- Aqar.me offers optional ad promotion: your listing runs as a sponsored ad on Facebook and Telegram as well as on Aqar.me itself, for a budget and duration you choose. It is paid for separately and publishing a listing is always free of it.
- Are the prices on Aqar.me asking prices or sale prices?
- They are asking prices set by the advertiser. Aqar.me publishes what sellers and landlords are asking and does not record completed transactions, so the figures describe the current state of the market rather than what properties sold for.
- Which currency are prices shown in?
- Prices are published in both US dollars and Syrian pounds. The US dollar figure is the stable one; Syrian pound amounts move with the exchange rate.
- How do I contact an advertiser on Aqar.me?
- Every listing page shows the advertiser's phone number and a WhatsApp link, so you reach the owner, investor or office directly without an intermediary.
- Does Aqar.me have a mobile app?
- Yes. Aqar.me is available for Android on Google Play and for iOS on the App Store, carrying the same listings as the website.
