ShaikhTech, a Middle East-based technology firm specializing in the proptech sector, has announced the beta launch of AmanaVest. The new platform is designed to provide global individuals and institutional investors with curated access to real estate and other investment opportunities within Saudi Arabia.
The name AmanaVest combines “Amana,” the Arabic word for trust, with “Vest,” signifying investment, to underscore the platform’s core principles of transparency, responsibility, and trust.
A Strategic Launch in Riyadh
The official announcement was made by Zeeshan Shaikh, CEO of ShaikhTech, during the 2026 Real Estate Future Forum in Riyadh. The timing of the launch is particularly significant, as it follows the recent issuance of new foreign property ownership regulations in Saudi Arabia, positioning AmanaVest to capitalize on the Kingdom’s evolving real estate landscape.
“Saudi Arabia is entering a historic new chapter as its real estate market opens to the world,” said Zeeshan Shaikh. “This is a generational opportunity to connect global capital with one of the world’s most dynamic development stories. Through AmanaVest, we are building a trusted, technology-enabled bridge into the Kingdom’s expanding cities—making high-quality property investment more accessible, transparent, and institutionally robust for global investors.”
An Invitation-Only Beta Phase
AmanaVest is currently operating in a private, invitation-only beta phase. This structured approach is intended to ensure quality and alignment as the platform prepares for a broader public release. Participants accepted into this initial phase will be designated as Founding Members, granting them early access and exclusive long-term benefits.
The platform’s initial rollout will focus on opportunities in Madinah and Riyadh. Access will be expanded in subsequent phases to include other major cities such as Makkah, Jeddah, and Dammam.
A Tech-Enabled Bridge to the Kingdom
AmanaVest functions as a technology-driven discovery and facilitation platform, allowing investors to explore opportunities filtered by city, asset type, and investment profile within a secure environment.
The platform offers a comprehensive suite of tools tailored for foreign investors, providing visibility into various ownership structures including freehold, long-term leasehold, and timeshare options, all subject to local regulations. Importantly, every opportunity featured on AmanaVest is structured to be Sharia-compliant, adhering to Islamic finance principles.
