Questions we're asked most
Is Manara Media a registered company?
Yes. Manara Media LLC is a legally registered company in the United Arab Emirates, licensed by Sharjah Media City Free Zone (SHAMS) under trade licence number 2647421.01. Our registered address is Shams Business Center, Al Messaned, Al Bataeh, Sharjah, UAE. We are also registered for UAE Corporate Tax with the Federal Tax Authority, effective 1 July 2026 — the registration number is listed above and can be checked against the FTA's own records.
Is Manara Media legit?
Manara Media is a licensed UAE business with a verifiable trade licence, a registered free-zone address and a public portfolio of work. Our licence can be checked directly with Sharjah Media City (SHAMS), the government free zone that issued it. We publish our pricing openly, quote fixed prices before any work begins, and every client receives full ownership of their final files.
Where is Manara Media located?
Manara Media is based at Shams Business Center, Sharjah Media City Free Zone, Al Messaned, Al Bataeh, Sharjah, United Arab Emirates. We serve clients across the UAE — including Dubai, Sharjah and Abu Dhabi — and the wider GCC. Most client work is carried out remotely over video calls, so location is not a limitation.
Who founded Manara Media?
Manara Media was founded in 2026 by Syed Abdul Jibran and Noman Hassan Syed. The name comes from the Arabic word manara, meaning lighthouse — a beacon that guides brands toward where they want to go.
How new is Manara Media?
Manara Media launched in 2026, so we are a young company — and we would rather say that plainly than pretend otherwise. What we bring is a portfolio built to a standard you can judge for yourself, transparent fixed pricing, and the responsiveness of a team that treats every early client as a long-term relationship.
Does Manara Media have client reviews?
As a company founded in 2026, we are still building our public review history. Our verified review profile is on Trustpilot at trustpilot.com/review/manaramedia.ae, and we also maintain profiles on Clutch and GoodFirms. Rather than display testimonials we cannot substantiate, we publish our concept work in full so prospective clients can evaluate the quality of our thinking and craft directly, and we invite every client to leave an independent review once their project completes.
Is the work in the Manara Media portfolio from real clients?
Our portfolio currently consists of self-initiated concept studies, and each one is clearly labelled as such on our website. These are original brand systems we created ourselves to demonstrate our approach across the UAE's major industries. We deliberately do not present them as client work, because honesty about what we have done matters more to us than appearing larger than we are.
What does Manara Media charge?
Logo design starts from AED 50 for a straightforward mark, with full brand identity systems, websites and company profiles quoted by scope. Every project is fixed-price and agreed in writing before work begins, so there are no surprise costs. A consultation to get a specific number for your business is free.
What services does Manara Media offer?
Brand identity and logo design, website design and development, company profile design, digital marketing, social media management, SEO and paid advertising. We work in both English and Arabic, and build bilingual brand systems for the UAE and GCC market.
