How a UAE engagement is set up

Contracting entity
Our Egyptian company (Ebug for Information Technology LLC) or our Saudi company (Mohammed Ali Al Khuraim Information Systems Technology Co.), as set in the contract.
Delivery model
Most seats work remotely from Cairo inside your tools; hybrid and on-site seats are available at client sites in Dubai and across the UAE. Remote and on-site seats alike start within 4 working days.
Residency
Engineers can work only inside your UAE environment or UAE cloud region, which matters for health data that UAE law generally requires to stay in the country.
Governing law
UAE federal law, or DIFC law for DIFC entities; disputes go to DIAC arbitration (seated in the DIFC).

UAE: buyer questions

20 minutes with an Account Director. No sales script.

Yes. Squads serving UAE clients follow a Monday-to-Friday calendar written into the Statement of Work, even though Cairo’s usual rest day is Friday. Cairo is 1–⁠2 hours behind UAE time, giving 7–⁠8 hours of shared working time each day, including Fridays.

Yes. DIFC and ADGM have their own data-protection regimes, separate from the federal UAE PDPL. Our contracts include clauses for the relevant regime, including safeguards for any transfer outside the free zone, and governing law can be DIFC law or arbitration by agreement.

Our DPA includes a UAE annex, and engineers can work only inside your UAE environment or a UAE cloud region, so personal data stays in the country. Where access from outside the UAE is needed, the transfer basis and safeguards are documented and agreed before work starts.

Remote specialists are employed by Remote Pro Ai outside the UAE, so they are not added to your MOHRE-registered workforce and do not change the base your Emiratisation targets are calculated on. They also do not count as Emirati hires. Confirm your position with your HR advisers.

Yes. Quotes and invoices are available in AED with 5% VAT shown separately. Smaller self-serve squads can pay by card; larger engagements pay by bank transfer, with net-30 terms after a credit check. Invoicing will follow the UAE e-invoicing mandate as it applies. Lane thresholds are stated in your proposal.

Yes. On-site and hybrid seats are available at your premises in Dubai or Abu Dhabi, starting within 4 working days. Many UAE clients keep a lead on-site for workshops and governance while the rest of the squad works remotely from Cairo on UAE hours.

Yes. Squads can work to NESA / UAE IA standards and other government requirements, with residency in UAE cloud regions. Onboarding on government supplier portals and any entity-specific conditions are handled through our enterprise procurement process, with formal quotations and bench holds for larger programmes.
