Alaa Elhadi, an independent revenue management consultant, provides hotel revenue management consulting for hotels, resorts and serviced apartments in Sharjah, United Arab Emirates, one to one, remotely and in Gulf Standard Time (UTC+4).

Hotel revenue management consulting is an independent review followed by a plan. I look at 12 to 24 months of your own data, shop your comp set, and find where rates, restrictions or channels are costing you money. Unlike outsourcing, I do not make your daily decisions; your team does, with a better plan.
This is my view of Sharjah. Sharjah works best when it stops trying to be cheap Dubai. Families choose it for a calmer, alcohol-free base, the Book Fair and Light Festival bring real events, and many Dubai professionals want monthly stays. Holiday homes need SCTDA approval. I price against Dubai but build a separate identity.
For Sharjah owners, I review your location, family appeal and how your home competes with spillover from Dubai, then build a plan around cultural events, Eid and summer. We agree when to favour monthly stays and when nightly pricing pays more, so the calendar works for you all year.
The service in general is described on my hotel revenue management consulting page; this page covers how I apply it in Sharjah.
A review of the last 12 to 24 months: pricing decisions, rate architecture, restrictions, channel mix and cost, comp-set position, pace and the systems behind them, with every gap ranked by value.
Base rates and floors per room type, BAR levels tied to occupancy and pace, seasonal and event calendars and restrictions, written as a 12-month calendar your team can run.
Which channels to sell on, at what rate and with which promotions, so the mix protects margin: OTAs, corporate, wholesale, metasearch and direct.
A demand forecast, an annual budget, weekly pace reports and a workshop for your team, plus honest advice on revenue systems before you sign for one.

The Sharjah International Book Fair brings publishers, readers and families, so I raise rates near Expo Centre Sharjah and Al Taawun and protect weekends.
National Day, New Year and school holidays drive family demand, so I price weekend and holiday dates firmly and offer weekly stays to visiting relatives.
The Light Festival, and the Biennial in the years it runs, bring cultural visitors, so I raise weekend rates near Al Majaz and Al Qasba and plan Ramadan early.
Heat rises and events thin, so I focus on monthly stays for Dubai commuters, add university graduation weeks and price Eid as a short family premium.
Summer heat cuts demand, so I protect floors, offer monthly stays and market Khor Fakkan homes to families wanting east-coast weekend escapes.
Price the Sharjah International Book Fair and Light Festival as premiums.
Build monthly rates for professionals commuting to Dubai.
Position family-friendly features clearly.
Move Eid dates each year.
Confirm SCTDA holiday-home approval.
Performance has flattened
RevPAR is stuck while the market around you moves on.
Opening, renovating or rebranding
A new positioning needs a pricing and distribution strategy built from scratch.
An owner wants a second opinion
You need the operator's numbers checked by someone outside the hotel.
You have a team but want a better plan
Someone prices today and wants an audit, a calendar and training.
Thirty minutes on your property, your market and where you think revenue leaks. I scope the work and confirm the price before starting.
With read-only access to your PMS, channel manager and extranets I analyse the data, shop your comp set and talk to whoever sets rates today.
A written report and a working session: the gaps ranked by value, the strategy to close them and a 12-month calendar.
Step 4
I can set the strategy up in your systems, train your team and check in monthly, or run it for you as outsourced management.
Every engagement is fixed-scope and fixed-price. After a free discovery call you get the scope and the price in writing before any work starts. Training days and monthly check-ins are quoted separately.

Real feedback from PriceLabs pricing strategy sessions with Alaa.
Alaa is a consummate professional! Patient, thorough, efficient and effective in communicating. He not only made savvy adjustments to my dynamic pricing strategy, but also helped me to understand the reasoning behind his methods, granting me a better understanding of the PriceLabs platform. Strong work!

Alaa was fantastic, going through each of the properties I had and gave great advice and actioned a great game plan. Would highly recommend for anyone looking to enhance their pricing strategy on PriceLabs. Alaa's experience goes beyond this which makes it very beneficial to have this holistic approach.
Property manager
Alaa helped me optimize my PriceLabs settings for my Airbnb listing and was very helpful and patient with answering any questions I had. He was also able to clearly explain why he made the changes he made, and it was obvious that he had a lot of experience in this field. I will definitely be back!

For hotel revenue management consulting, that is where my audit begins, because a finding here changes every recommendation after it. How long the drive to Dubai takes at rush hour, and whether the listing is honest about it, because commuters and spillover guests judge Sharjah homes by travel time.
Busiest in Sharjah: November to March, with the Sharjah International Book Fair in November, the Sharjah Light Festival in February, and Eid holidays. February to March: The Light Festival, and the Biennial in the years it runs, bring cultural visitors, so I raise weekend rates near Al Majaz and Al Qasba and plan Ramadan early. October to November: The Sharjah International Book Fair brings publishers, readers and families, so I raise rates near Expo Centre Sharjah and Al Taawun and protect weekends. For hotel revenue management consulting, my audit tests whether your current rates and restrictions capture these windows, and the 12-month calendar I hand over sets them in advance.
Pricing against Dubai spillover without copying Dubai's rates, alcohol-free family positioning, book fair and exhibition premiums loaded months ahead, monthly rate cards for Dubai commuters, and summer floors with longer minimum stays under SCTDA holiday-home rules. For hotel revenue management consulting, I check every recommendation against the Sharjah calendar before I make it. April to May: Heat rises and events thin, so I focus on monthly stays for Dubai commuters, add university graduation weeks and price Eid as a short family premium.
Sharjah works best when it stops trying to be cheap Dubai. Families choose it for a calmer, alcohol-free base, the Book Fair and Light Festival bring real events, and many Dubai professionals want monthly stays. That is the view I bring to hotel revenue management consulting in Sharjah.
Results depend on the property, the starting point and the season, so I do not promise a number. In Sharjah the first gains from hotel revenue management consulting usually come from the change with the clearest local signal: build monthly rates for professionals commuting to Dubai. I review progress against your own occupancy, ADR and RevPAR, not a market average.
Sharjah sells mostly through Airbnb, Booking.com and Expedia. February to March: The Light Festival, and the Biennial in the years it runs, bring cultural visitors, so I raise weekend rates near Al Majaz and Al Qasba and plan Ramadan early. For hotel revenue management consulting in Sharjah, my distribution review covers each channel's cost, contribution and rate position, then recommends a mix.
For hotel revenue management consulting, i begin with 12 to 24 months of your own data, so the first findings are about your property in Sharjah, not the city. Position family-friendly features clearly. Next: confirm SCTDA holiday-home approval.
Aljada and Muwaileh: Newer communities near University City; I price for families, academics and visiting parents in graduation season, with weekly and monthly options. Al Majaz and Al Qasba and Al Nahda and Al Taawun get their own treatment. For hotel revenue management consulting, i review your comp set and rate position for your own part of Sharjah, not the market average.
