What makes a good Arabic website?
Most "bilingual" sites in the UAE are English sites with machine-translated text dropped in. Menus stay left-aligned, numbers and icons point the wrong way, and native readers notice in a second.
A proper Arabic version mirrors the layout right-to-left, uses an Arabic typeface that reads well on mobile, and is written, not translated, by a native speaker. Each page gets its own URL (for example /ar/) and hreflang tags, so Google shows the right language to the right person.

- Native Arabic writer, briefed on your business
- Mirrored right-to-left layout, checked on mobile

Questions we get asked
Do I need an Arabic version of my website in Dubai?
There is no general legal requirement for private business websites in Dubai. It is strongly recommended for healthcare, government-facing, family-oriented and Abu Dhabi or Sharjah businesses, where many customers search and read in Arabic.
How much does an Arabic version cost?
Our Authority plan (AED 14,900) includes English, Arabic and German. On the Growth plan, an extra language costs AED 1,500, including native translation and right-to-left layout.
Can you not just use Google Translate?
Machine translation is noticeable to native readers and damages trust, especially for healthcare and premium services. We use native Arabic writers and check every page in right-to-left layout.
Will Arabic pages help my SEO?
Yes, if they are proper pages with their own URLs and hreflang tags. Arabic search results in the UAE are often far less competitive than English ones.
