Your hotel's revenue manager, without the full-time hire.I take over the revenue manager role for Sharjah hotels, resorts and serviced apartments: daily rates, restrictions, forecasting and distribution, with a monthly report you can check.

Alaa Elhadi, an independent revenue management consultant, provides outsourced hotel revenue management for hotels, resorts and serviced apartments in Sharjah, United Arab Emirates, one to one, remotely and in Gulf Standard Time (UTC+4). In Sharjah, I price December to January as the peak and June to September as the quiet time, and I build the work around that calendar.

They run month to month and are never a percentage of revenue.

Outsourced hotel revenue management means I do the job of the revenue manager for you: I watch the comp set and pace every day, move rates and restrictions, manage the OTAs, forecast demand and report each month. You keep control of the hotel and see every decision.
What I plan around in Sharjah: Sharjah International Book Fair; Sharjah Light Festival and Sharjah Biennial; Expo Centre Sharjah exhibitions and conferences; Weekend and long-stay spillover from Dubai; Khorfakkan and the east-coast beaches. Guests I price for: Value-led GCC and family travellers on 3 to 7 night stays, professionals working in Dubai on monthly stays, and cultural visitors around the museums and Al Majaz waterfront. Where I start: 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.
Sharjah hotels serve families, cultural visitors, exhibition guests and Dubai spillover. With five-star hotel experience behind me, I help with family packages, event pricing, corporate rates near the Expo Centre and summer offers that keep occupancy up without undercutting rate.
The service in general is described on my outsourced revenue management page; this page covers how I apply it in Sharjah.
I monitor your comp set and booking pace every day and move rates, rate plans and restrictions as demand shifts, room type by room type.
I manage the channel mix, parity and promotions together across Booking.com, Expedia, Agoda, Google and your own site, so cost of sale does not eat the gain.
On the higher plans I forecast demand by month and segment, build the annual budget and keep a 12-month pricing calendar tied to the market's real dates.
You get a monthly performance summary, a full ADR, occupancy and RevPAR report on Plus and Pro, and on Pro a monthly strategy call and a quarterly review.
“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.”
Alaa Elhadi, revenue management consultant. Cornell certified, 18 years in hotel and short-term rental revenue.
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.
No revenue manager
The role left or was never hired, and rooms are priced between other duties.
Results have plateaued
RevPAR has stopped moving while the comp set keeps learning.
More than one property
You want one consistent method across a small group without building a department.
An owner or asset manager
You want decisions made by a specialist and reported in numbers you can check.
Room count, room types, channels and the systems you use. I confirm the plan level and the monthly price for your size.
I study your market, comp set and current rates, set up the strategy and connect your PMS or channel manager and pricing tool.
I adjust rates, restrictions and promotions as demand moves, and manage your OTAs on Plus and Pro.
Step 4
You get the report against budget and last year, and on Pro we meet monthly, so nothing I do is hidden.
Priced monthly by your hotel's size, not per room. Core, Plus and Pro, month to month, never a percentage of revenue. Hotels of 200 or more rooms, luxury properties and groups are quoted individually.

Real feedback from PriceLabs pricing strategy sessions with Alaa.
Alaa is a consummate professional! Patient, thorough, efficient and effective in communicating.

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!

Busiest in Sharjah: November to March, with the Sharjah International Book Fair in November, the Sharjah Light Festival in February, and Eid holidays. 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. December to January: 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. For outsourced hotel revenue management, i raise floors and tighten minimum stays ahead of these windows and review pace every week, so the strongest dates never sell early at a shoulder rate.
For outsourced hotel revenue management, that is the first thing I check before taking on the pricing, because everything else sits on top of 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.
Position family-friendly features clearly. Next: confirm SCTDA holiday-home approval. For outsourced hotel revenue management, i start with base rates, the seasonal calendar and restrictions, because that is where a Sharjah property usually leaks the most.
For outsourced hotel revenue management, in the quiet months my job is to protect the floor, close gaps with length-of-stay and last-minute rules, and keep the property visible on every channel. Quietest in Sharjah: June to August. June to September: Summer heat cuts demand, so I protect floors, offer monthly stays and market Khor Fakkan homes to families wanting east-coast weekend escapes. 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.
Commuter monthly demand ignored and unapproved listings. I look for these first when I review outsourced hotel revenue management in Sharjah, and fixing them is usually the quickest gain.
For outsourced hotel revenue management in Sharjah, i manage channel mix, parity and promotions together, so the cheapest route to a booking is not the most expensive one for you. Sharjah sells mostly through Airbnb, Booking.com and Expedia. December to January: 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.
Al Majaz and Al Qasba: Waterfront areas with parks and cultural venues; I price for families and cultural visitors, with weekend premiums during the festivals. Al Nahda and Al Taawun and Aljada and Muwaileh get their own treatment. For outsourced hotel revenue management, i set rates, comp sets and restrictions per area and per room or listing type, not as one citywide number.
Expo Centre Sharjah exhibitions and conferences, Weekend and long-stay spillover from Dubai and Khorfakkan and the east-coast beaches are the dates I price first for outsourced hotel revenue management in Sharjah. June to September: Summer heat cuts demand, so I protect floors, offer monthly stays and market Khor Fakkan homes to families wanting east-coast weekend escapes.
