    How much is the fine for failing to translate sale contracts into Arabic?

    Ali Faizan Syed1 min read0 viewsUpdated 1/2/2026
    Real estate legislation in Dubai requires that all Real Property Unit sale or reservation contracts be translated into Arabic. A developer who fails to provide this mandatory translation is subject to an administrative fine of AED 100,000. This requirement ensures that legal documents are accessible and understandable within the local judicial and administrative context, and it supports the DLD's goal of providing a transparent and integrated regulatory framework for all market participants.
