Web apps in Dubai
A web app for a DMCC or DIFC team — a customer portal, a booking system, an internal tool — should run on AWS UAE or Azure UAE North, with proper sign-in and personal data handled under Decree-Law No. 45 of 2021. Arabic and English need the same permissions, not a translated skin. If money moves, it settles in dirhams. This is not a five-page company site; the scope is accounts, roles, and connecting to the systems you already run.
