Do you have an office in Dubai?

No. We are a remote-first development partner serving Dubai and the UAE. We work Gulf Standard Time with daily overlap and regular video collaboration. If your procurement requires a UAE-registered supplier, we are not the right fit and would rather say so up front.

How much does app development cost?

Our Mobile App MVP package and the other fixed-scope packages are listed with prices on the pricing page; larger apps get a written fixed quote after a free call. Payment runs through escrowed Upwork milestones.

Do you build both iOS and Android apps?

Yes — native iOS and Android, or cross-platform with Flutter and React Native from a single codebase. Which is right depends on how much platform-specific functionality you need, and we will give you a straight recommendation rather than defaulting to whichever is cheaper to build.

Can you build bilingual Arabic and English apps?

Yes. Genuine right-to-left support affects layout, typography, and formatting throughout, so we build it into the design system from the start rather than retrofitting it.

Software, apps and online stores for the UAE market

UAE products usually need bilingual Arabic and English interfaces, local payment gateway integration, and — for consumer apps — attention to the mix of iOS and Android that skews differently here than in Western markets. We plan for those from the first sprint.

What UAE products need from day one

Data protection

The UAE's federal Personal Data Protection Law (Federal Decree-Law No. 45 of 2021) applies to most consumer products; free zones such as DIFC and ADGM have their own data rules. We document what data is stored where.

Local payments and BNPL

Gateways such as Network International and Telr, plus buy-now-pay-later with Tabby or Tamara, which UAE shoppers increasingly expect at checkout.

Bilingual by design

Arabic and English interfaces with proper right-to-left support, built into the design system rather than retrofitted.

WhatsApp-first customer contact

Ordering updates, support and enquiries over WhatsApp — the channel customers in the UAE actually answer.

Ecommerce on Shopify

For retail brands, Shopify with local gateways, shipping rules and WhatsApp chat is usually the fastest route to a fast, maintainable store.
