In Dubai, the main share index (.DFMGI) rose 1.2%, a day after the benchmark posted its biggest daily fall in a month.
Sharia-compliant lender Dubai Islamic Bank (DISB.DU) and blue-chip developer Emaar Properties (EMAR.DU) were up 2.7% and 1.6%, respectively.
Deyaar Development (DEYR.DU) jumped 4.2% after the company said board has approved the proposal to write off the accumulated losses through using legal reserve and capital reduction.
The Dubai stock market stabilised after Thursday's slump while investors cautiously assess the impact of the Ukraine conflict on the world economy. NATO is scheduled to hold a virtual meeting in Ukraine later in the day and any data released from that meeting could significantly affect the global market sentiment, said Farah Mourad, a senior market analyst with XTB MENA.
Abu Dhabi's index (.FTFADGI) added 0.4%, helped by a 0.6% jump in the shares of First Abu Dhabi Bank (FAB.AD), the country's largest lender.
The Abu Dhabi stock market was also supported by higher oil prices, which could bring large profits and counterbalance the risks posed by the conflict in Ukraine, added Mourad.
Both the indexes, however, lost 4% so far this week.
