Inside Malkiati
01 · Search
Type "2 bed apartment in Lusail under 8k" instead of filling in filters. Malkiati repairs typos, finds the places you mean on Qatar's national address, and orders a "near" search by distance.
02 · Requirement
Share what you need in a sentence. Malkiati reads the budget, bedrooms and areas from it and matches you with the right agents, who then contact you, only after your number is verified.

03 · Agencies
Agencies claim, work and close leads in one place. The client always sees a single, honest status, and every note an agency publishes reaches them as written.
04 · Prices
Typical rents by area and metro access, drawn from live listings, shown only when there are enough listings to mean something, with the method published for anyone to read.

Built on the national address
Malkiati maps each property to Qatar's national address system, so a search for a zone or a district finds the listings that are really there.
Counts from the Qatar national address data used by Malkiati.
How we build
Real listings, verified agents, and nothing done without the user's approval. If there is not enough data to say something, we say nothing.
Technology that saves people time and money, not technology for show. Facts and figures always come from real records.
Built for Qatar's market, regulations and areas, with Arabic and English designed in from the first line, right to left included.
Insights
How Malkiati turns live Qatar listings into a rent figure you can trust: medians, a minimum number of listings, and daily lets kept out.
Qatar's national address explained: 8 municipalities, 91 zones, 788 districts and 20,290 streets, and why a district is not the parent of a street.
Why "near a metro station", "near Lusail" and "near Triangle Park" are three different questions, and how Malkiati's search answers each one.
