Markets / UAE
AI-driven software development for UAE teams.
The UAE is our closest market by time: Dubai and Abu Dhabi are only 1.5 hours behind Ahmedabad, so your team and ours share almost the whole working day. We quote in dirhams and work to the local week.
(01) Why us
Why UAE teams choose us.
Fixed price in AED
Scope, date and price in dirhams. MVP Sprints from about AED 22k (placeholder, confirmed in your quote).
Nearly full-day overlap
The UAE is UTC+4 with no daylight saving. Overlap with our core day is 7.5 hours, the highest of any market we serve.
PDPL aware
Designed with the UAE Personal Data Protection Law in mind, and the separate DIFC and ADGM regimes where free-zone entities are involved.
(02) Coverage
Your hours, our working day.
7.5 h core overlap / 9.0 h shifted · 09:00 to 18:00 GST, Monday to Friday · AED
Dubai at 09:00 is 10:30 in Ahmedabad. Overlap runs from 09:00 to 16:30 GST, so a stand-up, design review and an end-of-day demo all fit inside live hours. Since 2022 the federal government week runs Monday to Friday, with a half day on Friday, and many private firms follow it. Our Friday plans match yours, and we plan around Ramadan hours and Eid holidays in the schedule.
The federal Personal Data Protection Law, Decree-Law No. 45 of 2021, sets rules for processing personal data and for cross-border transfers. Entities in the DIFC and ADGM free zones follow their own data protection regulations instead. Sector rules apply on top in health and finance. We ask early which regime covers you, since it shapes hosting and consent design.
Arabic and English interfaces are the norm here. We build right-to-left layouts as a first-class option, not an afterthought, and cloud regions in the UAE are available for data residency needs.

(06) FAQ
Questions from UAE.
How much overlap will we have?
About 7.5 hours a day on standard time. The UAE has no daylight saving, so it stays the same all year. The UAE working week now runs Monday to Friday, so overlap is long, and we plan around Ramadan hours and public holidays at kickoff.
Can data stay in the UAE?
We can deploy to cloud regions in the UAE where available. We raise residency early because it affects hosting and costs. Free zones such as DIFC and ADGM have their own data rules, so we raise these early and design with them in mind while you confirm the details with your adviser.
Do you build Arabic right-to-left interfaces?
Yes. Arabic and English are designed together, including mirrored layouts and local number and date formats. Right-to-left layout affects every component, so we build it in from the start rather than adding it later, and agree who supplies the Arabic copy.
Can pricing be in dirhams?
Yes. Starting prices on this site are indicative placeholders until your scoping call. The proposal states the currency and payment milestones, and we can quote in AED or USD, whichever your finance team prefers.
