Frequently Asked Questions
Do influencers in Dubai need a licence?
The UAE requires advertisers on social media, including influencers, to hold a permit from the UAE Media Council. Check current rules before paid promotions.
How does the time difference work?
Dubai is 1.5 hours behind India, so nearly the whole UAE working day overlaps with ours.

Yes. Content in English or Arabic; other languages on request.
When can we reach your team from Dubai?
Our working day is 9:00–18:00 IST, which is 07:30–16:30 Dubai time. Messages sent outside that window are answered when our next working day starts; scheduled posts still go out on Dubai time.
Which Dubai dates do you plan content around?
We plan around the local calendar, for example: Dubai Shopping Festival, mid-December – January; Ramadan (dates vary; about 8 February 2027); GITEX Global, autumn (dates vary). Dates are checked each year before content is scheduled.
Can posts target specific parts of Dubai?
Yes. We use location tags, captions and offers for named areas such as DIFC, Downtown Dubai, Business Bay and Dubai Media City / Internet City, and each platform page for Dubai covers this in more detail.
