Your afternoon covered, and a short flight away
Offshore software, web, marketing and back-office teams for businesses in the UAE.
The UAE is the easiest market we serve logistically. Our hours share your afternoon, neither country observes daylight saving so the relationship never shifts, and a direct flight of a few hours makes on-site visits practical.
Working hours
We work 09:00โ17:00 UTC, which is 13:00โ21:00 Gulf time all year. That shares your afternoon โ about four hours โ and there is no daylight saving on either side, so the relationship never shifts.
Why UAE businesses work with an offshore team
- โSalaries and visa costs for technical staff in Dubai and Abu Dhabi are high, and much of the work does not require someone on a UAE visa.
- โYour whole afternoon is shared with our working day, and the schedule never shifts because neither country observes daylight saving.
- โOn-site visits are practical at short notice when a project genuinely needs them.
The practical detail

Questions from UAE clients
How much overlap is there with the UAE?
About four hours, covering your afternoon โ our day is 13:00โ21:00 Gulf time. Neither country observes daylight saving, so it never changes.
Can you visit our office?
Yes. Direct flights make kick-off and review visits practical at short notice for engagements that warrant them.
Do you work with DIFC or ADGM entities?
Yes. Those free zones have their own data protection regulations and we contract to them where they apply to you.
Data protection in the UAE is governed by Federal Decree-Law No. 45 of 2021 on Personal Data Protection, and free-zone regimes such as the DIFC and ADGM. We are a technology supplier, not legal or tax advisers โ confirm your own obligations with your adviser.
