Qasr Al Yasmeen Properties (QAP) is a Dubai-based real estate brokerage specialising in large-scale property transactions across the GCC. We work with a select group of investors, family offices, and institutions to identify assets that go beyond square footage and location — matching each opportunity to a client's specific investment objectives and risk appetite.
Rather than operating as a high-volume brokerage, QAP takes a targeted, relationship-driven approach. Every transaction we pursue is filtered through one question: does this asset genuinely fit what our client is trying to achieve? This discipline has positioned QAP as a trusted partner for clients who value precision over noise.
QAP specialises in relatively large real estate transactions, where the margin for error is small and the need for judgment is high.
Sourcing properties and portfolios that align with a client's stated investment thesis, not just what happens to be available.
Ensuring every recommended asset reflects the client's actual appetite for risk, timeline, and return expectations.
Leveraging our GCC-wide network to access opportunities ahead of the broader market.
Managing the process from introduction to close, with the discretion large transactions require.
We begin by understanding the client — not just the budget, but the strategy behind it. Growth objectives, risk tolerance, timeline, and portfolio context all shape the search.
Using our network across the GCC, we identify assets that meet the brief — including opportunities not actively marketed.
Every asset is evaluated against the client's specific objectives before it's ever presented. We would rather bring one right opportunity than ten average ones.
We support the transaction through to completion, ensuring alignment between both sides of the deal.
A network spanning the GCC that surfaces opportunities and counterparties others can't access.
We focus on large, considered transactions rather than high-volume listings.
Our founder's experience across real estate, commodities, and consultancy brings a broader lens to every deal.
Large transactions require confidentiality and judgment; both are central to how we operate.
Ali Makki is a Dubai-based entrepreneur whose ventures span real estate, commodities, and strategic consultancy across the GCC. In addition to founding Qasr Al Yasmeen Properties, Ali has established and led a commodity trading company and a consultancy firm, giving him a cross-sector vantage point that few real estate professionals bring to the table.
His strength lies in his network — built across the Gulf region through years of hands-on deal-making. This network regularly surfaces transactions before they reach the open market, and just as importantly, allows Ali and his team to match each asset with the counterparty best positioned to unlock its value. It is this combination of origination capability and precise matchmaking that defines QAP's approach to every deal.
