About Zullfa
Zullfa is the verified guide for Muslims abroad who want to own a home in Makkah or Madinah: whether you may buy, where, what it costs on top of the price, and how the purchase runs from the country you live in. Every figure is a dated record with a named source. Zullfa is published from Saudi Arabia. It is not a brokerage.
Who stands behind it
Zullfa is published from Saudi Arabia. It was founded by Akram Abdulaziz. It is written in English for readers abroad, from Saudi Arabia, and it points you to a licensed person rather than standing between you and one. Write to us at hello@zullfa.com; journalists and researchers will find the boilerplate, the logo and the open data on the press page.
What the record holds
The record holds 146 confirmed facts and 42 reported by one source, about 24 projects inside the designated zones and outside them, with five quarters of sales registered at the Ministry of Justice. Each number is counted from the data this page was built from. The facts reported by one source are listed under Editorial standards.
What we do
- Keep a dated record of the designated zones, projects, rules and fees in Makkah and Madinah.
- Answer what you may buy, where, and what it will cost you on top of the price.
- Go through a price you were quoted with you, and introduce you to a developer, licensed broker or lawyer when you ask us to.
What we do not do
- Give legal or financial advice. We tell you who to ask.
- Take listings from property portals, or show a generated picture as a real building.
- Broker your purchase. We hold no listing mandate and take no commission on a sale.
How the business is paid, and what money never buys, is on Working with Zullfa. How a figure reaches a page, and what happens when it changes, is on Editorial standards. What we keep when you write to us is in the privacy notice.
