DUBAI, Aug 29 (Reuters) - Gulf stocks moved little in early, thin trade on Monday as a fresh slide in oil prices and a retreat in Asian share markets kept buyers away.

Dubai's index .DFMGI was flat as stocks mainly traded by local investors were the top movers. Insurer Takaful Emarat Insurance TKFE.DU gained 3.4 percent but Ajman Bank AJBNK.DU fell 1.3 percent.

In Abu Dhabi, the index .ADI edged up 0.3 percent with gainers outnumbering losers 12 to three. Union National Bank UNB.AD added 1.4 percent and First Gulf Bank FGB.AD rose 0.4 percent.

Declines in some large-cap shares weighed on Qatar's main index .QSI , which slipped 0.1 percent. Islamic bank Masraf Al Rayan MARK.QA lost 0.1 percent and real estate developer Ezdan Holding ERES.QA dropped 0.4 percent.

Saudi Arabia's equities index .TASI moved little. Saudi International Petrochemical (Sipchem) 2310.SE dropped 1.8 percent but some banking shares, which have been under pressure over the last several weeks because of the slump in the construction sector, edged up with Samba Financial 1090.SE adding 0.6 percent.
