What This Actor Does

The Mourjan Scraper is a production-ready Apify Actor that extracts classified listings directly from Mourjan.com — one of the oldest and largest pan-Arab classifieds platforms, covering the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, Oman, Jordan, Lebanon, Egypt and Iraq. Mourjan is where MENA residents and businesses post and discover apartments for rent, villas for sale, used cars, jobs, professional services and consumer goods — in both Arabic and English.

In each run the actor walks the public listing pages for any country/category combination you choose, parses Mourjan's server-rendered HTML ad cards, and returns clean structured records. You can scope a run to a single Dubai rental search or fan out to every MENA country at once — and optionally drill into each listing's detail page to enrich the dataset with phone number, full description and complete image gallery.

Entity types returned:

• Property rentals — apartments, studios, villas, rooms, furnished apartments, traditional houses, labor accommodation, offices, shops, warehouses, lands
• Properties for sale — apartments, villas, buildings, floors, commercial real estate, residential plots and land
• Cars — used and new vehicles with make, model, year and mileage where exposed
• Jobs — job openings, vacancies and recruitment ads posted by employers and agencies
• Services — moving, cleaning, repair, beauty, education, IT, legal and other professional services
• Seller metadata — seller type, seller name and phone number (on detail-page scrapes)

Every record carries the country, city, district, price, currency, payment terms, bedroom/bathroom/area attributes, image URLs, source listing URL and a UTC scrapedAt timestamp — making it trivial to ingest into Postgres/Snowflake/BigQuery, push to a CRM, or pipe into a price-tracking dashboard.

Why scrape Mourjan yourself when this exists?

Mourjan is server-side rendered and looks innocently simple, but anyone who has tried to scrape it at scale hits the same wall fast:

• Eight country sub-domains (/ae/, /sa/, /kw/, /bh/, /jo/, /lb/, /eg/, /iq/) each with their own URL path templates and currency conventions (AED, SAR, KWD, BHD, JOD, USD, EGP, IQD)
• Bilingual content — Arabic-first markup interleaved with English; titles often mix RTL and LTR characters
• Listing URLs encode the city slug and property-type slug (/ae/dubai/apartments/, /ae/abu-dhabi/villas-and-houses/) and you must reverse-engineer the slug taxonomy to filter properly
• Pricing buried in free-text content blocks — sometimes AED 4,500, sometimes 4500 AED, sometimes Monthly 4500
• Bedrooms/bathrooms/area show up in dozens of formats (2BR, 2 bedroom, 2-bed, 2 BHK, 850 sqft, 120 SQM)
• Furnished / unfurnished status leaks across the title, description and the property-type slug
• Phone numbers are rendered behind detail-page lookups — often as tel: links and sometimes obfuscated
• HTML structure includes hundreds of cards per page; deduplication by listing ID is mandatory
• Pagination uses inconsistent Next / » / numbered pagers; relative URLs that must be resolved against the country sub-tree
• Mourjan occasionally throws 403 for cold requests — needs proper headers and optional residential proxy

This actor solves all of the above: residential-proxy-ready got-scraping requests, Cheerio-based parsing of the real div.ad card structure, country/currency mapping table, fuzzy regex extraction for price/beds/baths/area, slug-driven city and property-type inference, JSON-LD fallback parser for edge templates, optional detail-page enrichment, and a flat normalized JSON schema you can ingest anywhere.

Quick Start

One-Click Run

1. Open the actor page on Apify Store and click "Try for free"
2. Pick a country (default ae — UAE) and a category (default properties-rental)
3. Optionally narrow by city (dubai, abu-dhabi, sharjah, riyadh, jeddah, kuwait, manama, doha)
4. Hit Start — listings stream into your dataset within seconds; download as JSON, CSV, Excel, HTML, XML or RSS

API Run (Python)

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN")

run = client.actor("haketa/mourjan-scraper").call(run_input={
    "countries": ["ae"],
    "category": "properties-rental",
    "cities": ["dubai", "abu-dhabi"],
    "scrapeDetails": True,
    "maxRecords": 200,
})

for listing in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(listing["title"], listing["price"], listing["currency"], listing["city"])

API Run (Node.js / TypeScript)

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: 'YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN' });

const run = await client.actor('haketa/mourjan-scraper').call({
    countries: ['ae', 'sa', 'kw'],
    category: 'cars',
    scrapeDetails: false,
    maxRecords: 500,
    requestDelay: 1000,
});

const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
console.log(`Got ${items.length} cars across UAE, Saudi Arabia and Kuwait`);

API Run (cURL)

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/haketa~mourjan-scraper/runs?token=YOUR_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
        "countries": ["ae"],
        "category": "properties-sale",
        "cities": ["dubai"],
        "maxRecords": 100
      }'

Direct URL Run

Drop any Mourjan search or listing URL into startUrls and the actor scrapes that page directly:

{
  "startUrls": [
    "https://www.mourjan.com/ae/dubai/apartments/properties/rental/en/",
    "https://www.mourjan.com/sa/riyadh/cars/en/"
  ],
  "scrapeDetails": true
}

How It Works

Mourjan publishes country-specific listing indexes that are fully server-rendered. There is no public API, no GraphQL endpoint and no JSON feed — just paginated HTML. This actor talks to those pages directly with got-scraping (no headless browser), parses them with Cheerio, and normalizes the messy free-text fields into a clean flat schema.

Source pattern

Pattern	URL template	Notes
Country index (category)	https://www.mourjan.com/{country}/{category}/en/	Default entry point — paginated listing grid
City-scoped index	https://www.mourjan.com/{country}/{city}/{category}/en/	Filtered to a city slug
Property-type index	https://www.mourjan.com/{country}/{city}/{type}/en/	e.g. /ae/dubai/apartments/
Detail page	https://www.mourjan.com/{country}/{city}/{slug}/{id}/en/	Numeric ID at the end — fully enriched record

{country} is one of ae (UAE), sa (Saudi Arabia), kw (Kuwait), bh (Bahrain), jo (Jordan), lb (Lebanon), eg (Egypt), iq (Iraq). {category} is properties/rental, properties-for-sale, cars, jobs or services.

Engineering details

• HTTP + Cheerio engine — got-scraping keeps the footprint tiny vs. Playwright/Puppeteer; full unfiltered Dubai rentals run sips memory
• Real DOM parsing — primary strategy targets the live div.ad card structure (image + content block) and extracts links, images and content text
• JSON-LD fallback — secondary strategy parses application/ld+json RealEstateListing and Product blobs when Mourjan returns the structured-data template
• Country/currency mapping — every listing tagged with the source country's display name and ISO currency (AED, SAR, KWD, BHD, JOD, EGP, IQD; USD for Lebanon)
• City inference from URL — listing URLs encode /{country}/{city}/{type}/{slug}/ so city and property type are derived without needing extra page loads
• Property-type slug map — apartments → Apartment, villas-and-houses → Villa, studios → Studio, labor-accommodation → Labor Camp, furnished-apartments → Furnished Apartment, plus offices, shops, lands, rooms, warehouses, traditional houses, floors, commercial buildings
• Price regex bank — matches AED 4,500, KWD 250, BHD 600, SAR 12,000, and inverted patterns (4500 AED) with comma-stripped numeric parsing
• Bedroom/bathroom/area extraction — regex covers 2BR, 2 bed, 2 BHK, 2 bathroom, 850 sqft, 120 SQM variants; Studio property type auto-sets bedrooms: 0
• Furnished detection — checks the property-type slug and description text for furnished vs. unfurnished
• Payment-term parser — recognizes monthly, yearly, annually, per month, per year, 12 cheques, 4 installments
• Optional detail enrichment — when scrapeDetails: true, each listing detail page is fetched for tel: phone number, full description, complete image gallery, seller name and (for cars) year + mileage
• Deduplication — composite key from country + numeric listing ID; per-run Set guards against double-saves
• Retry & rate-limit handling — 403/429 triggers exponential backoff up to 3 retries; requestDelay (default 800 ms) paces request cadence
• Apify Proxy ready — residential proxy group enabled by default in input schema; switch off for low-volume runs

Use Cases

MENA Real Estate Research & Analytics

Brokerages, REITs, proptech startups and consulting firms use the dataset to monitor MENA residential and commercial markets in near-real time:

• Track rental yields across Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Riyadh, Jeddah and Kuwait City — quote-on-quote pricing for the same property type, bedroom count and district
• Spot supply shocks — sudden surge in furnished-apartments postings in a Dubai sub-area can foreshadow new building handover
• Benchmark average price per sqft / SQM by city, property type and bedroom count
• Monitor Saudi Vision 2030 hotspots — Riyadh, NEOM-adjacent listings, Diriyah Gate vicinity, Red Sea project areas
• Validate broker pricing — compare a private off-market quote against the prevailing Mourjan distribution
• Power proptech AVMs — feed structured listing histories into automated valuation models

Used-Car Arbitrage & Automotive Market Intelligence

Used-car dealers, exporters, fleet liquidators and automotive data startups scrape Mourjan to power buying decisions across the GCC:

• Cross-country arbitrage — track Toyota Land Cruiser GXR pricing in Riyadh vs. Dubai vs. Kuwait to flip between markets
• Spec sheet enrichment — combine make, model, year and mileage with prevailing currency to build a clean cars-for-sale corpus
• Salvage / damage detection — keyword filter on description text (bank loan, accident free, salvage, urgent sale) for opportunistic buys
• Auction floor pricing — feed live Mourjan median prices into auction reserve calculations
• Pair with YallaMotor Scraper to combine new-car dealer pricing with private classifieds for a full GCC automotive view

Jobs Market Analysis & Workforce Intelligence

Recruitment agencies, executive search firms, HR-tech vendors and policy researchers extract Mourjan job posts to read the MENA labour market:

• Sector trend tracking — count of jobs in construction, hospitality, healthcare, tech by country over time
• Salary signal mining — extract pay ranges from job descriptions where employers publish them
• Employer activity — which staffing agencies and direct employers post most frequently in Dubai vs. Doha vs. Riyadh
• Skills demand — keyword frequency across listings to build a real-time MENA skills index
• Expatriate hiring pulse — track jobs explicitly tagged for visa sponsorship vs. local nationals only

Expat Relocation & Lifestyle Research

Relocation consultants, mobility teams and expat-services platforms feed Mourjan into cost-of-living calculators and relocation packs:

• Rental cost-of-living estimates — median 1-BR / 2-BR rent by city for relocation-package benchmarking
• Neighbourhood comparisons — Dubai Marina vs. JLT vs. Downtown vs. JVC; West Bay Doha vs. Salwa vs. Lusail
• Furnished vs. unfurnished availability — relevant for short-term assignments
• Service-provider directories — moving companies, cleaners, drivers, tutors filtered by city
• School-zone real estate — pair listings with school proximity for family relocations

Recruitment & Staffing Lead Generation

Recruiters and staffing agencies harvest Mourjan listings to source both candidates and clients:

• Build employer lead lists — every company posting jobs in the past 30 days in Saudi Arabia
• Track competing agencies — which recruiting agencies post the most in each city
• Niche talent sourcing — drivers, nannies, domestic helpers, hospitality and construction labor advertised directly
• Salary intelligence for offer benchmarking — by sector and metro
• Outbound campaign fuel — enrich CRM with phone numbers harvested from detail-page scrapes

Dropshipping, Resale & Marketplace Intelligence

Resellers and online retailers monitor MENA classifieds to source inventory and benchmark pricing:

• Source second-hand inventory — appliances, electronics, furniture posted by private sellers in Dubai and Riyadh
• Pricing intelligence — what does a 2020 MacBook Pro sell for second-hand across the GCC?
• Competitive intelligence — how aggressively are dealers pricing similar SKUs across countries?
• Cross-list to global marketplaces — pull Mourjan listings, re-list on eBay UAE / Amazon.ae / Noon
• Trend-spot — which categories are growing fastest week-over-week?

Competitive Intelligence for Classified & Marketplace Operators

Bayut, Property Finder, Dubizzle, Haraj, OpenSooq, OLX, Carmudi and other regional platforms benchmark Mourjan to understand competitor inventory:

• Inventory parity tracking — what fraction of Dubai apartment listings also appear on Mourjan?
• Pricing comparison — does the same listing get posted at different prices on different platforms?
• Agent overlap — which agencies cross-post and which are Mourjan-exclusive?
• Coverage gaps — Mourjan-strong markets (smaller emirates, secondary Saudi cities) that competitors under-index

Market Research, Journalism & Policy

Academics, journalists and policy researchers use Mourjan extracts to study MENA economies:

• Cost-of-living indices — academic and journalistic studies on rent inflation in the GCC
• Migration patterns — labor accommodation supply as a proxy for blue-collar migration flows
• Sectoral employment shifts — pre/post Saudization, Emiratization and Kuwaitization rule changes
• Investigative reporting — uncover slum-like labor camp pricing or jobs scams via posting patterns
• Comparative urban studies — Dubai vs. Doha vs. Manama housing affordability research

Integration Examples

Google Sheets

1. Schedule the actor daily at 06:00 GST via Apify's built-in scheduler
2. Add the Export to Google Sheets integration to the schedule
3. Wake up to a fresh sheet of Dubai rentals (or whatever scope you set) every morning

Make.com / Zapier / n8n

Use the official Apify connector to trigger downstream workflows on:

• New listings (set diff between today's run and yesterday's)
• Price drops on watched listings
• New posts from a specific seller / agency
• Detection of urgent sale / bank loan keywords in description

Power BI / Tableau / Looker

Connect Apify's REST dataset endpoint as a data source. Build dashboards covering:

• Rental price distribution by city × bedroom count
• Days-on-market estimation (when running daily)
• Car price benchmarks by make / model / year across the GCC
• Job-posting velocity per country and sector

Postgres / Snowflake / BigQuery

Use the Apify webhook integration to POST the dataset to your warehouse loader after every scheduled run. The flat schema maps cleanly to a single staging table; cast price, bedrooms, bathrooms, year to numeric and you're done.

Salesforce / HubSpot CRM Enrichment

For lead-gen workflows: schedule a scrapeDetails: true run nightly, upsert against a MourjanListing custom object keyed on listingId, and trigger Tasks / Cases when a competing seller / agency name appears in your territory.

Webhooks & Custom Endpoints

Apify can POST every dataset item to a webhook in real time. Use this to:

• Push new Dubai studio rentals < AED 45,000/year into a Slack channel for instant claim by sales reps
• Stream MENA used-car listings into a Kafka topic for ML pricing inference
• Forward jobs into an internal ATS as new client leads

Compliance, Privacy & Legal Notes

• Public data only — every field is published on Mourjan.com without authentication. The actor does not bypass any login, paywall or anti-bot challenge designed to gate private content.
• No PII enrichment beyond the seller's own ad — seller name and phone number are scraped only when they appear publicly on the listing detail page (where Mourjan exposes them with a tel: link).
• Respect robots.txt — the actor honors HTTP status codes (403/429 trigger backoff) and supports a configurable requestDelay so you can stay polite. Tune up the delay for sustained sweeps.
• Honor Mourjan's Terms of Service — by using this actor you accept responsibility for using the resulting data lawfully and in compliance with Mourjan's ToS. Apify and the actor author are not party to that agreement.
• GDPR / regional data-protection laws — phone numbers and seller names are personal data. If you store and process them within the EU/EEA, UK, KSA (PDPL), UAE (PDPL), Bahrain (PDPL) or any other jurisdiction with similar laws, ensure you have a lawful basis (legitimate interest, consent) and provide data-subject rights. Do not use the data for spam SMS, automated cold-calling that violates local telecom regulations, or unsolicited WhatsApp blasts.
• No financial / health / government records — Mourjan does not publish them; this actor cannot extract what is not there.
• Bilingual content — the actor targets the /en/ URL variants. Arabic-only fields may appear in description text; downstream NLP should be Unicode-aware.

Important: This actor is intended for legitimate market-research, due-diligence, lead-generation, academic and journalistic use. Anti-scraping circumvention and any use against Mourjan's ToS is your responsibility, not Apify's.

Frequently Asked Questions

How fresh is the data?

Live at run time. Every run hits Mourjan's live listing pages, so the snapshot is as fresh as Mourjan itself. To build a time-series, schedule the actor (hourly / daily / weekly) and Apify will keep every historical dataset.

How many listings will I get?

Varies dramatically by country and category. A single Dubai-rentals first page returns ~30–60 cards; full pagination of all UAE rentals can yield several thousand. The actor stops at maxRecords (default unlimited) and maxPages (default unlimited).

Does Mourjan require a login or API key?

No. All scraped pages are public on mourjan.com. The actor uses no Mourjan account.

Does the actor handle Arabic text?

Yes. The actor requests the /en/ URL variants where Mourjan returns English-language listings, but description fields may still contain Arabic Unicode characters where the seller posted in Arabic. Downstream tools must be Unicode-aware.

Does Mourjan block scrapers?

Mourjan is forgiving by classifieds-platform standards but does throw the occasional 403/429. The actor retries with exponential backoff, supports a configurable requestDelay, and can route through Apify Residential proxy by default.

Why is the price field sometimes null?

Some Mourjan listings omit price in the card text or post it as "Call for price" / "Negotiable". When the regex bank can't extract a numeric value, price is set to null. Enable scrapeDetails: true to recover prices that only appear on the detail page.

Can I scrape Qatar (qa) and Oman (om)?

Qatar and Oman content exists on Mourjan but uses a slightly different URL layout than the eight country codes baked into the countries enum. Pass Qatar / Oman listing URLs via startUrls to scrape them.

What is the difference between properties-rental and properties-sale?

properties-rental covers apartments, villas, studios, rooms, offices and shops listed for rent (long-term and short-term). properties-sale covers properties listed for outright purchase, including land and commercial buildings.

Can I get listing photos?

Yes. Card-level scraping returns the thumbnail; scrapeDetails: true returns the full image gallery from the listing detail page.

Can I get the seller's phone number?

Phone numbers appear on detail pages as tel: links or inline text. Set scrapeDetails: true to extract them. Some sellers hide their phone behind a click-to-reveal — those will be null.

Does the actor deduplicate?

Yes. Per-run deduplication is keyed on listingId (composite of country + Mourjan's numeric ID). Duplicates within the same run are suppressed.

Can I filter by price, bedroom count, or property type?

The actor returns those fields — apply the filter downstream (SQL WHERE, Pandas, Sheets filter). Mourjan's URL structure also lets you pre-filter by property type via startUrls (e.g. /ae/dubai/studios/properties/rental/en/).

What export formats are supported?

JSON, CSV, Excel (XLSX), HTML, XML, RSS — directly from the Apify dataset view. The API also supports JSON Lines for streaming consumers.

Can I run this on the Apify Free Plan?

Yes — full functionality on the free tier. A 50-record maxRecords test run is essentially free.

Can I schedule the actor?

Yes. Apify's built-in scheduler supports cron expressions. Many users run daily snapshots of Dubai / Riyadh / Kuwait City rentals and diff overnight to spot new postings.

Does this work for property-listing portals other than Mourjan?

No — this actor is Mourjan-only. For Pakistan, see our Zameen Scraper; for the Philippines see Lamudi Scraper; for Cambodia see Realestate.com.kh Scraper. The full classifieds catalog is in the Related Actors section below.

How do I report a bug or request a feature?

Open an issue on the Apify Store actor page, or contact the developer through the Apify Console.

Is residential proxy required?

Recommended for large sweeps (full country runs or multi-country runs with detail enrichment). Optional for small scoped runs. Toggle via the proxyConfiguration input.

Why Pay-Per-Event Pricing?

Most scrapers either lock you into a flat monthly subscription (you pay even when you don't run) or charge by raw Compute Units (unpredictable). This actor uses pay-per-event pricing, which means:

• You only pay when the actor actually runs and returns data
• Charges scale with how many listings you consume — not how long the actor took
• Transparent line-item billing inside the Apify Console
• No monthly minimums, no annual commitments
• Trivially cheap to evaluate — a 50-record maxRecords test run is pennies
• Aligns the actor's incentives with yours — fewer wasted records, higher signal density
