Faisal Hills plots for Pakistanis in UAE — buying guide 2026
Complete guide for UAE-based Pakistanis buying Faisal Hills plots — current rates in AED, how to send money from Dubai or Abu Dhabi, Power of Attorney process, and Roshan Digital Account.
Pakistani community in UAE — the Faisal Hills connection
The UAE is home to approximately 1.6 million Pakistanis — one of the largest Pakistani communities in the Gulf. Dubai, Sharjah, Abu Dhabi, Ajman, and Ras Al Khaimah all have established Pakistani populations, and property investment back home is a consistent financial priority for this community.
Faisal Hills Islamabad is one of the most actively bought schemes by UAE-based Pakistanis. Its RDA-approved status, proximity to Islamabad and Rawalpindi, and range of plot sizes from 5 marla to 1 kanal make it accessible to buyers across income levels in the UAE.

- Arrange Power of Attorney: If you cannot visit Pakistan, visit the Pakistani Consulate in Dubai (Al Hamriya) or Abu Dhabi (Khalidiyah) to have a notarised POA executed in favour of a trusted person in Pakistan. Bring your NICOP/CNIC and the POA template provided by the Faisal Hills office.
- Transfer the booking amount: Pay via Roshan Digital Account, UAE bank transfer to the verified dealer's Pakistani account, or through a licensed exchange company (Al Ansari, Al Fardan, UAE Exchange). Always obtain a receipt.
- Collect allotment letter: Your POA holder collects the allotment letter from the Faisal Hills office. Request a scanned copy before the original is posted to you in UAE.
- Complete the transfer on your next Pakistan visit: When you visit Pakistan, complete the society transfer personally for the most secure ownership record.
Sending money from UAE to buy a plot
- Roshan Digital Account (recommended): SBP's official channel for overseas Pakistani investment. Fully repatriable, no questions asked on exit. Open through HBL, Meezan, UBL, or Bank Alfalah apps without visiting Pakistan. Earn competitive profit rates while funds await deployment into the property.
- UAE bank wire transfer: Emirates NBD, FAB, Mashreq, and ADCB all offer international transfers to Pakistani banks. Transfer to your own Pakistan account then pay the dealer. SWIFT transfers take 1–3 working days.
- Exchange companies: Al Ansari, Al Fardan, and UAE Exchange offer same-day PKR remittance. Rates can be better than bank rates. Ideal for smaller amounts (booking token).
Always keep a copy of every transfer receipt. The Faisal Hills office may ask for proof of payment in the event of any dispute.

Verify before sending any money
UAE-based buyers are prime targets for property fraud in Pakistan — distance makes verification harder. Before transferring any amount:
- Verify the Faisal Hills NOC and RDA approval status — read the NOC guide
- Ask for the seller's original allotment letter scan — not just photos
- Cross-check the plot number and position on the interactive map with the layout plan overlay
- Never pay cash through an informal channel — use traceable bank transfers only
Frequently asked questions
- Can I buy a Faisal Hills plot from UAE without visiting Pakistan?
- Yes. You can complete the entire purchase remotely using a Power of Attorney (POA). Have the POA notarised at the Pakistani Consulate in Dubai or Abu Dhabi, authorise a trusted representative in Pakistan, and they handle the booking and transfer at the Faisal Hills office. Payment is made via bank transfer or Roshan Digital Account.
- How do I send money from UAE to buy a Faisal Hills plot?
- The most common methods are: (1) Roshan Digital Account — SBP's official overseas investment account with repatriation guarantee; (2) Bank transfer from UAE banks (Emirates NBD, FAB, Mashreq) to your Pakistan bank account then to the dealer; (3) Exchange companies (Al Ansari, Al Fardan) for PKR remittance. Always get a receipt for every transfer and ensure it reaches a verifiable account.
- What is the approximate cost of a Faisal Hills plot in AED?
- Plot prices fluctuate with the PKR/AED exchange rate and market conditions. As a rough guide, 5 marla plots in Block A possession are currently in the range of AED 40,000–60,000. However, rates change week to week — tap the WhatsApp button on this page to get today's live rate in AED from our verified dealer.
- Do I need NICOP or CNIC to buy a Faisal Hills plot from UAE?
- Both are accepted. NICOP (National Identity Card for Overseas Pakistanis) is the preferred document for overseas buyers and is required for the Roshan Digital Account. If you only have a regular CNIC, it is still accepted for plot purchases. Carry copies of whichever ID you hold.
- Is the Faisal Hills investment repatriable from UAE?
- If you invest through the Roshan Digital Account (Naya Pakistan Certificate or direct property channel), profits and principal are fully repatriable to your UAE bank account in AED. Investment through regular bank transfer is also repatriable but with more documentation required at the time of resale. Confirm the latest SBP rules with your Pakistani bank before investing.
- Which UAE cities have the most Pakistani Faisal Hills buyers?
- Dubai and Sharjah have the largest concentrations of Pakistani buyers looking at Faisal Hills — largely because these cities have big Pakistani communities in areas like Deira, Bur Dubai, Al Nahda (Sharjah), and Muwailih. Abu Dhabi, Ajman, and Ras Al Khaimah buyers also make up a portion of overseas inquiries.
