A senior remote product team for Dubai founders and operators — Arabic and English apps for real estate, retail, hospitality and fintech, only one hour ahead of your working day.
App development in Dubai.
Kurchu Software Solutions builds Arabic and English iOS, Android and Flutter apps for Dubai businesses, working remotely from Lahore, Pakistan, just one hour ahead of Dubai. Dubai apps are usually real estate, retail, hospitality or fintech, so they are built right-to-left from day one, integrate local gateways and Tabby or Tamara, and follow the UAE PDPL or DIFC rules.

Building apps in Dubai.
Dubai is the Middle East's main hub for real estate, retail, tourism, logistics and financial services, and most of its residents are expatriates — so apps here usually need Arabic and English from launch, and often more languages.

Questions from teams in Dubai.

Our team is in Lahore, Pakistan, and works with Dubai remotely. 9:00–18:00 in Dubai is 10:00–19:00 in Lahore all year round, because neither country changes its clocks, so our working days overlap almost completely. Calls, reviews and quick questions happen in real time, with proposals in AED or USD and full ownership of the code.
Dubai agency quotes vary widely with team size and overheads. With us, focused MVPs typically start in the mid five figures, while full platforms with several apps and an admin panel run into six. A bilingual Arabic–English app costs more than an English-only one because every screen is designed, written and tested in both directions, so we show that as its own line in the AED or USD proposal.
Yes. Companies registered in the DIFC follow the DIFC Data Protection Law No. 5 of 2020 rather than the federal PDPL, with its own rules on lawful processing, data-subject rights, breach notification and transfers outside the DIFC. We design consent, rights requests and audit logging around it and document data flows for your data protection officer. Legal sign-off stays with your adviser.
We build the app and its integrations — wallets, custody partners, KYC providers and transaction screens — for businesses licensed by Dubai's Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority. VARA licensing and compliance stay with your company; we build to the controls your licence requires, such as strong authentication, audit trails and clear risk disclosures, and supply technical documentation for your compliance team.
