Meeting people in Sharjah
Sharjah is quieter and more family-centred than its neighbour, and many residents live here while working in Dubai. Wrati is built for people who want to meet someone seriously and privately, with intentions clear from the start.
Free to join for men and women
What dating in Sharjah is actually like
The daily drive to Dubai shapes most people's week, and many treat the two emirates as one place to meet people. Being honest about where you live and how far you will travel saves a lot of frustration.
Sharjah has stricter rules on public behaviour than Dubai, and its social life leans towards family, food and the waterfronts at Al Majaz and Al Qasba. Meet in public, respect local customs, and keep early meetings simple.
Many residents are from India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and the Philippines. Meeting someone who shares your home language can matter a great deal, and in-chat translation helps when you do not.
Dating, relationships and marriage in Sharjah
Most people looking for a partner in Sharjah are looking for marriage or a long-term relationship. You can state that on your Wrati profile, so you meet people who want the same.
Whatever you are looking for, you say it up front. Your intention — Marriage, Long term, Short term and others — is shown to the people you match with, so someone looking for a life partner and someone looking to date can each find people who want the same thing.
Love in your language
Languages commonly spoken in Sharjah include Arabic, English, Hindi, Urdu and Malayalam. On Wrati you can list the languages you speak, and in-chat translation helps when you and your match do not share a first language.

Meeting safely
Keep conversations in the app until you trust someone, meet in a busy public place, tell a friend your plans and never send money to someone you have not met. If anyone makes you uncomfortable, block and report them — both are free for everyone. Read more in our safety guide and privacy policy.

Frequently asked questions
Is Wrati free for both men and women?
Yes. Creating a profile, photo verification, discovering people, matching and starting conversations are free for everyone. Premium is optional and adds extras such as unlimited chats and calling.
Can I use Wrati if I am looking for marriage rather than dating?
Yes. When you set up your profile you choose what you are looking for — Marriage, Long term, Short term and other intentions — and that is shown to the people you match with, so marriage-minded members can find each other without guessing.
Will other members see my phone number?
No. Your mobile number is never shown to other members. You can chat, and with Premium call, inside the app before deciding to share anything else. Blocking and reporting are free for everyone.
