Used abayas in Sharjah typically sell for AED 74 to AED 445 (about $20 to $120). Abayas sell on fabric drape and length, so state the length from shoulder to hem and name the fabric, because nida, crepe and chiffon hang quite differently.
Selling an abaya in Sharjah
Sharjah is the most affordable of the northern emirates to live in and a large share of its residents commute into Dubai, which makes it a family and household market rather than a luxury one. Practical goods move here: white goods, children’s things and furniture that has to last.
Families move between the northern emirates far more often than they leave the country entirely, usually chasing rent, so goods here tend to circulate locally rather than being dumped by someone leaving for good.
The commute into Dubai shapes the day, so most handovers get arranged for evenings or the weekend rather than the middle of a working day. Collection by car is the norm and parking around the residential blocks is generally straightforward.
On white goods, check that the voltage and plug type match what you have and ask to see it running. Appliances change hands frequently here and a quick demonstration settles most questions.
Handing it over in Sharjah

Put in the description
- Length from shoulder to hem, and sleeve length
- Open or closed style, and the closure type
Fabric, style and length: “Nida Crepe Open Abaya, Black, 56 inch, Size 54”. Length in inches is the primary measurement buyers filter on. Say whether it is open or closed style, and whether a hijab or belt is included.
Listing is free and there is no selling fee, so the whole amount the buyer pays stays with you. You and the buyer agree the handover between yourselves.
