What a UAE app has to get right

Apps for UAE customers fail quietly when Arabic, payments or data location are treated as an afterthought. We plan these from the first workshop.

Arabic and English, properly

Full right-to-left layouts, mirrored navigation, Arabic fonts and numerals, and content that switches language without a reinstall. Not just translated strings.

UAE Personal Data Protection Law

Consent, purpose limits and data subject rights under Federal Decree-Law No. 45 of 2021. Businesses in DIFC or ADGM follow those free zones' own data protection rules, which we design around.

Health data stays in the UAE

Health apps fall under the UAE's health ICT law, which restricts storing and processing health data outside the country except in permitted cases. We host such apps in UAE cloud regions.

UAE payments

Apple Pay and Google Pay, card acquiring through gateways such as Network International, Checkout.com, Telr or Stripe, and buy-now-pay-later with Tabby or Tamara for retail.

5% VAT and e-invoicing

Tax invoices with VAT shown correctly, and structured invoice data ready for the UAE e-invoicing programme that starts phasing in from 2027.

Delivery and location

Map, address and location flows that work with UAE addresses, building names and landmarks, for delivery, field service and on-site booking apps.

Frequently asked questions

FAQs

Do you build Arabic mobile apps?

Yes. UAE apps are built bilingual with full right-to-left Arabic layouts, mirrored navigation and Arabic fonts, plus English. Users can switch language inside the app.

How much does mobile app development cost in Dubai?

Cost depends on screens and user roles, native or cross-platform, Arabic content, payments, offline needs and integrations. We define a first release in discovery and estimate it before development starts. Plans for our ready-made ERP, CRM and POS are also shown in AED on our pricing page.

Can my app's data be hosted in the UAE?

Yes. When the law or your customers require it, for example for health data, we host the back end in a UAE cloud region such as AWS Middle East (UAE) or Microsoft Azure UAE North.

Which payment gateways do you integrate in the UAE?

Apple Pay and Google Pay, card gateways such as Network International, Checkout.com, Telr and Stripe, and buy-now-pay-later providers such as Tabby and Tamara, depending on your bank and business type.

Do you work with businesses outside Dubai?

Yes. We work with businesses across the UAE, including Abu Dhabi, Sharjah and the other emirates. Discovery, demos and sprint reviews run online and are scheduled in Gulf Standard Time.

Who owns the app and source code?

For custom builds the deliverables become your property after full payment unless agreed otherwise in writing, and the apps are published under your own Apple and Google developer accounts.

Next step

Planning an app for customers or staff in the UAE?

Tell us who will use it, in which language, and what it connects to. We will outline a first release and an estimate.
