A two-bedroom apartment for rent in Al Majaz, Sharjah costs between AED 30,000 and AED 70,000 a year, with most apartments priced between AED 45,000 and AED 55,000.

Al Majaz is divided into three neighbourhoods: Al Majaz 1 along Khalid Lagoon, Al Majaz 2 around the Al Qasba canal, and Al Majaz 3 near the Buhaira Corniche, and each commands its own rent.

A typical apartment in Al Majaz measures between 1,100 and 1,800 square feet, with a master bedroom, a second bedroom, a shared hall or dining area, and two to three bathrooms.

One important thing to note before renting an apartment in Al Majaz is that the final amount you end up paying is always more than the amount you will see on the property. That is because other charges are involved (often not included in the listing price).

Agents typically charge a commission of around 5% of the annual rent. Security deposits for an unfurnished two-bedroom apartment generally fall between AED 3,000 and AED 5,000, and landlords usually split the payment across four to six post-dated cheques. So, you have to factor these extra costs upfront.

Away from that, cafés, supermarkets, mosques, and parks are all within a short walk in every part of Al Majaz.

Price, size, view, and furnishing are what matter most when you compare a two-bedroom apartment here against another in the same area, or against options in neighbouring communities such as Al Taawun and Al Nahda.

Al Majaz 1, 2, and 3: Which Area Should You Choose to Rent a Flat?

Al Majaz 1, 2, and 3 are often classified as one neighbourhood, but they differ significantly in terms of price, layout, and amenities, so it is important to view these areas separately because the rental gap between one sub-area and another can be as much as AED 10,000+ a year for a two-bedroom unit.

Sub-Area	Price Range (AED/year)	Closest Landmark	Best Suited For
Al Majaz 1	40,000 – 65,000	Khalid Lagoon, Al Majaz Waterfront	Waterfront views and a walkable setting
Al Majaz 2	35,000 – 50,000 (up to 80,000 for larger units with a maid's room)	Al Qasba Canal, Jamal Abdul Nasser Street	A mix of furnished and unfurnished leases
Al Majaz 3	35,000 – 70,000	Buhaira Corniche	Families and a quieter residential setting

Apartments for Rent in Al Majaz 1

A two-bedroom apartment in Al Majaz 1 with an uninterrupted lagoon view commands the highest rents in the neighbourhood, typically AED 40,000 to AED 65,000 a year.

The promenade, Al Noor Mosque, and a row of restaurants are a few minutes on foot, and Al Majaz Waterfront doubles as the sub-area's main park, with open lawns and a musical fountain.

Most people get around by taxi or private car here. The nearest bus connections are at Al Jubail bus station near the Blue Souk, which also handles intercity coaches to Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Ajman.

Schools and nurseries are limited within Al Majaz 1, so families usually send children to Al Durrah International School or Victoria International School of Sharjah, both a short drive away.

Apartments for Rent in Al Majaz 2

Al Majaz 2 is just a few meters away from Jamal Abdul Nasser Street and the Al Qasba canal, and its buildings serve two different kinds of tenant.

Al Majaz Waterfront and its fountain are within walking distance of most buildings. Al Wahda Street forms the eastern edge for anyone driving, and the nearest bus stop, on Al Wahda Road, is about a three-minute drive away.

In terms of amenities, especially for families with children who go to school, Al Majaz 2 ticks almost all the boxes: Creative Home Nursery, Baby First Nursery, and Bluebells Nursery all operate nearby, and Al Durrah International School and Victoria International School of Sharjah are within a 10-minute drive.

Apartments for Rent in Al Majaz 3

Al Majaz 3 gives up some waterfront proximity for quiet, and is the most residential of the three sub-areas.

Its buildings, among them the forty-five-storey Al Majaz Tower, Riviera Tower, and Al Rand Tower, are frequently described in listings as well maintained. Apartment rent in Al Majaz 3 fall between AED 35,000 and AED 70,000 a year.

The Buhaira Corniche is close enough for an evening walk, and Safiya Park adds further green space, with Novo Cinemas nearby.

Baby First Nursery is located directly within Al Majaz 3. As with the rest of Al Majaz, most residents rely on taxis and private cars, since the sub-area itself has few dedicated bus stops.

How much does it cost to rent a 2 bedroom apartment in Al Majaz?

Between AED 30,000 and AED 70,000 a year, with most listings falling between AED 45,000 and AED 55,000.

Al Majaz 1 occupies the upper half of that range because of its lakefront position, while Al Majaz 3 spans the widest range from budget to premium.

These figures reflect market ranges rather than fixed quotes; the price on any individual listing depends on that unit's condition, floor, and view.

How far is Al Majaz from Dubai?

Roughly 25 to 30 kilometres from central Dubai, or a drive of about 25 to 35 minutes outside peak hours.

Morning traffic toward Dubai, and evening traffic back to Sharjah, can stretch that considerably.

Is Al Majaz close to Sharjah Airport?

Yes. Sharjah International Airport is about 18 kilometres away, ordinarily a 20 to 25 minute drive under normal traffic.

What documents do I need to rent an apartment in Sharjah?

An Emirates ID, a copy of your passport and visa, and a tenancy contract signed by both tenant and landlord.

The landlord's Emirates ID or passport, along with a copy of the property's title deed, is also required.

New contracts need a SEWA approval stamp, and you must register the signed contract with Sharjah Municipality, at a cost of 4% of the annual rent, within 90 days of signing.

Do rents in Al Majaz include DEWA and chiller charges?

Al Majaz falls under SEWA, the Sharjah Electricity and Water Authority; DEWA serves Dubai only.

Whether chiller charges are included depends on the building rather than the sub-area: some two-bedroom apartments in Al Majaz are chiller-free, meaning that cost is added into the annual rent, while others bill air conditioning separately through SEWA. Clarify this with the landlord or agent before signing the lease contract.
