In short

AI & ML development
in Dubai & the UAE.

AI & ML development in Dubai & the UAE with Magora: a first release in 6–8 weeks, developers from £49/hour (about AED 238) and a full team with QA and product ownership for £65–£70/hour (about AED 316–340). Every project starts with a free working prototype in 5–10 working days, then a two-week discovery from £3,000 (about AED 14,600). The UAE is on UTC+4 all year: three hours ahead of London in British Summer Time, four in winter.

Working with us from Dubai & the UAE

How it works
from Dubai & the UAE.

Time zones, contact and contracts, set out plainly.

01

Your afternoon, our working day

The UAE is on UTC+4 all year: three hours ahead of London in British Summer Time, four in winter. Our 09:00–18:00 UK day is 12:00–21:00 or 13:00–22:00 in Dubai, so calls and demos fit your afternoon, Monday to Friday.

02

Run from London

We don't have a UAE office: Dubai and UAE clients work with our London headquarters remotely, with the same senior team from kickoff to handover.

03

You own it

An NDA on day one, the repository in your name from the first commit, and full ownership of code, designs and IP on payment.

Local requirements

Built for
Dubai & the UAE.

What changes when your users and data are in Dubai & the UAE. We design for these requirements; your counsel or auditor signs them off.

01

Arabic language

Arabic and English assistants, with Arabic-capable models (such as the UAE-built Falcon and Jais) can be evaluated alongside GPT and Claude for your use case.

02

Data protection

Personal data handled for the UAE PDPL, and for the DIFC or ADGM rules if you're licensed in a free zone.

03

In-country hosting

Models and data in UAE cloud regions, or open models on your own servers, when data must not leave the country.

04

Your data stays yours

Enterprise API terms that exclude training on your data, with prompts and outputs logged in your own account.

Process

From idea
to first release.

A checkpoint at every stage, and working software at a demo every week.

Step 01

Free working prototype

5 – 10 working days

A clickable prototype of your core idea, built from your brief before any paid engagement.

Step 02

Discovery

2 weeks · from £3,000

A senior Product Owner and Solution Architect fix scope, architecture, estimate and roadmap in writing.

Step 03

Design

2 – 3 weeks

UX and UI prototypes tested with real users before production code is written.

Step 04

Build

First release in 6 – 8 weeks

Two-week sprints, a demo every week and a shared board, so you see progress rather than status reports.

Step 05

Launch & support

Ongoing

Release, monitoring and testing on real devices and browsers, then maintenance and new features.

Frequently asked

The honest
questions.

Also serving: London · USA · Sydney, Australia.

Why choose Magora for AI & ML development in Dubai & the UAE?
Magora has built software since 2010 and shipped 150+ products, 97% of them on time, with a 4.9 rating on Clutch. UAE clients get the same senior team from kickoff to handover, working software at a demo every week, and code they own from the first commit.
Do you have an office in Dubai?
No. We work with clients in Dubai and across the UAE remotely from our London headquarters (we also have offices in Miami and Sydney). The same senior team stays with your project from kickoff to handover.
How do you handle the time difference?
The UAE is on UTC+4 with no daylight saving, so Dubai is three hours ahead of London in summer and four in winter. Our 09:00–18:00 UK day runs to 21:00 or 22:00 in Dubai, so the overlap is your whole afternoon, Monday to Friday.
How much does AI & ML development cost?
Developers start from £49/hour (about AED 238) and a full team with QA and product ownership is £65–£70/hour (about AED 316–340). Discovery starts from £3,000 (about AED 14,600) and an MVP from £10,000 (about AED 48,600), with the first release in 6–8 weeks. Prices are set in pounds sterling. Dirham figures are approximate, at the ECB reference rate of 1 October 2026 (£1 = US$1.3234) and the dirham's peg of AED 3.6725 to the dollar. Use our cost calculator for a first estimate.
How long until the first release?
Usually 6–8 weeks for a first release. Before that comes a free working prototype in 5–10 working days and a two-week discovery that fixes scope, architecture and the estimate. Larger platforms take longer, and the discovery tells you how much longer in writing.
Which UAE rules should our AI products be built for?
Arabic and English assistants, with Arabic-capable models (such as the UAE-built Falcon and Jais) can be evaluated alongside GPT and Claude for your use case. Personal data handled for the UAE PDPL, and for the DIFC or ADGM rules if you're licensed in a free zone. Models and data in UAE cloud regions, or open models on your own servers, when data must not leave the country. We design for these requirements; we don't issue legal advice or certifications, so your counsel or auditor signs them off.
Will our data be used to train someone else's model?
No. The major AI providers' business and API terms exclude training on your data, and when that isn't enough we run open models in your own cloud account. Prompts, outputs and logs stay in systems you control.
Who owns the code and IP?
You do. Ownership of the bespoke code, designs and IP transfers to you on payment, the repository is yours from the first commit, and we sign an NDA on day one.
