🔎 Why scrape Mourjan classifieds?

Mourjan.com is a foundational classifieds portal across the Gulf (GCC), Levant, and North Africa. Every day, landlords, real-estate brokers, private car sellers, employers, and service contractors publish thousands of listings in Dubai, Sharjah, Ajman, Abu Dhabi, Riyadh, Jeddah, Kuwait City, Manama, Amman, Beirut, Cairo, and Baghdad. Particularly in high-growth residential hubs like Ajman, Sharjah, Al Ain, Kuwait, and secondary Saudi cities, Mourjan carries deep inventory that often never appears on luxury-only portals.

However, Mourjan provides no public API and embeds critical attributes—like price (AED 29,000), payment cadence (6 installments), bedroom/bathroom counts (2 BHK, 1 - Bedroom), and surface area (1,200 sq ft)—inside unstructured text blocks across eight separate country sub-trees.

This Mourjan data extractor turns that raw HTML into clean, database-ready intelligence:

• 🏠 MENA real-estate price & yield monitoring — track annual and monthly rental rates across UAE emirates and GCC cities by propertyType (Apartment, Studio, Villa, Furnished Apartment, Office, Shop, Warehouse, Labor Camp) and bedrooms.
• 📞 Real-estate & automotive seller lead generation — enable scrapeDetails: true to extract direct seller phone numbers (phone), poster names (sellerName), and full photo galleries for broker outreach.
• 🚗 GCC used-car price benchmarking — monitor private-party and dealer vehicle listings across the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Kuwait.
• 💼 Regional labor & hiring intelligence — scrape the jobs and services verticals to analyze blue-collar and white-collar hiring demand across 8 Arab economies.
• 📊 Proptech AVM & cost-of-living datasets — schedule recurring runs to build historical time-series datasets keyed on listingId.

---

✨ What this Mourjan scraper does

• ✅ Multi-country & multi-vertical targeting — select one or more countries (ae, sa, kw, bh, jo, lb, eg, iq), pick a specific vertical or all, and optionally narrow down to specific city slugs (dubai, sharjah, ajman, abu-dhabi, riyadh, jeddah, kuwait, manama).
• ✅ Smart attribute extraction from card text & URL slugs — automatically parses numeric price, maps the country's ISO currency (AED, SAR, KWD, BHD, JOD, USD, EGP, IQD), extracts bedrooms, bathrooms, area, furnished status, and paymentTerms, and infers city and propertyType directly from the listing URL structure.
• ✅ Unlocked 1,000+ deep pagination (maxPages: 0, maxRecords: 0) — walks listing pages automatically (~20 listings per page) and, when a high target (1,000+ or 0 unlimited) is requested, seamlessly expands across categories and countries if a narrow filter runs out of pages.
• ✅ Optional detail-page enrichment (scrapeDetails: true) — visits individual listing URLs to extract phone, sellerName, features (amenity bullets), complete images galleries, and car year / mileage.
• ✅ 100% deduplicated output — every record is keyed by a composite listingId ({country}-{numericId}, e.g. ae-30558790) so cross-page and cross-category overlaps never produce duplicate rows.

🔁 Deep pagination & scaling to 1,000+ listings

Mourjan serves ~20 classified ads per page (.../en/2/, .../en/3/, etc.) and signals the next page via <link rel="next"> in the HTML <head>:

1. Unlimited page walking (maxPages: 0): By default, the Actor walks page after page until it reaches your maxRecords target or Mourjan's last page.
2. Automatic multi-category & multi-country expansion for 1,000+ runs: If you request a large dataset (e.g., maxRecords: 1000 or 0) and your initial category/city filter finishes early, the scraper automatically continues across remaining categories and MENA countries so your run reliably collects 1,000+ unique listings.
3. Batch dataset flushing & deduplication: Every page is deduplicated against a run-wide seenIds set (listingId) and pushed in clean page batches.

⚙️ How to use & integrate

1. Open the Mourjan Scraper in Apify Console.
2. Select your target countries (ae, sa, kw, etc.) and Category (properties-rental, properties-sale, cars, jobs, services, or all).
3. Set maxRecords: Leave at 100 for a fast 15-second run, or set 1000+ (or 0 for unlimited) for a deep regional sweep.
4. Click Start and export your results in JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, or RSS, or pull them via the Apify API.

API example (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",
    "maxRecords": 500,
    "scrapeDetails": False,
})

for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(f"[{item['listingId']}] {item['city']} | {item['propertyType']} | {item['price']} {item['currency']}")

API example (Node.js)

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: process.env.APIFY_TOKEN });

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

const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
console.log(`Collected ${items.length} unique MENA car listings.`);

💡 Best practices & tips

• ⚡ Keep scrapeDetails: false for fast market-wide scans: Card-only mode captures title, description, price, currency, paymentTerms, bedrooms, bathrooms, area, city, propertyType, and thumbnail images at ~20 listings per HTTP request. Enable scrapeDetails: true only on smaller, targeted runs when you need phone numbers and full photo galleries.
• 🎯 Target specific property subtypes via startUrls: You can paste subtype URLs like https://www.mourjan.com/ae/dubai/studios/rental/en/ or https://www.mourjan.com/ae/ajman/villas-and-houses/rental/en/ into startUrls to scrape only studios or villas.

---

⚠️ Honest limitations

• Unpriced classified ads: Like most regional classifieds portals, roughly 40–45% of Mourjan posters omit a numeric price (expecting buyers to call or message). On those listings, price is null rather than a guessed number.
• Hidden phone numbers: Even with scrapeDetails: true, sellers who restrict their phone number to logged-in messaging or app-only reveal will have phone: null.

---

❓ Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

Do I need a Mourjan account or login cookies? No. The Actor scrapes public English listing pages directly with zero authentication required.

How many listings can I collect in one run? You can collect 1,000+ to 10,000+ listings in a single run. Set maxRecords: 1000 (or 0 for unlimited) and keep maxPages: 0.

Why did my first test run stop at 100 listings? The Console prefill sets maxRecords: 100 so your initial test finishes in ~15 seconds. Change maxRecords to 1000 or 0 to unlock full multi-page extraction.

Do I need expensive residential proxies? No. Standard Apify Proxy (useApifyProxy: true) works reliably out of the box.

How are duplicate listings prevented? Every listing URL contains a unique numeric ID, which the Actor combines with the country code into listingId (e.g., ae-30558790). The Actor tracks all seen IDs in memory and skips any repeated ads across pages.

📊 MENA rental yield & city benchmarking recipe (Python / Pandas)

Use this Python snippet to analyze median property prices by city, property type, and bedroom count from your exported Mourjan dataset:

import pandas as pd

# Load exported Mourjan dataset
df = pd.read_json("mourjan_listings.json")

# 1. Filter to priced property rentals and compute median price by city & propertyType
priced = df[(df["category"] == "Properties") & (df["price"].notna()) & (df["price"] > 0)]

summary = (
    priced.groupby(["country", "city", "propertyType", "currency"])
    .agg(
        listings=("listingId", "count"),
        median_price=("price", "median"),
        mean_price=("price", "mean"),
    )
    .reset_index()
    .sort_values("listings", ascending=False)
)
print("MENA Property Price Summary by City & Type:")
print(summary.head(15))

# 2. Break down UAE apartment rentals by bedroom count
uae_apts = priced[(priced["country"] == "UAE") & (priced["propertyType"] == "Apartment")]
by_beds = (
    uae_apts.groupby(["city", "bedrooms"])["price"]
    .agg(["count", "median", "min", "max"])
    .reset_index()
    .sort_values(["city", "bedrooms"])
)
print(by_beds)

Equivalent SQL query (BigQuery / Postgres)

SELECT
    country,
    city,
    propertyType,
    bedrooms,
    currency,
    COUNT(*)                        AS listing_count,
    ROUND(AVG(price), 0)            AS avg_price,
    PERCENTILE_CONT(0.5) WITHIN GROUP (ORDER BY price) AS median_price
FROM mourjan_classifieds
WHERE category = 'Properties'
  AND price IS NOT NULL
  AND price > 1000
GROUP BY country, city, propertyType, bedrooms, currency
ORDER BY listing_count DESC;
