An Arabic version your customers will actually read, and Google will actually rank.
Proper English–Arabic websites with right-to-left layouts, Arabic typography and hreflang, not a translate widget.
Around half of UAE residents search in Arabic at least some of the time, and government, healthcare and retail audiences expect an Arabic option. Most agencies bolt on a machine-translation widget that breaks layouts and never ranks. We build the Arabic version as a first-class site: mirrored layouts, Arabic typography, translated and reviewed content, and separate URLs that Google can index.
This website is itself bilingual. Switch to العربية in the header to see how the same design adapts to right-to-left reading without losing its character.

Arabic & Bilingual Websites: what you get.
RTL design system
Mirrored navigation, grids, icons and forms so the Arabic site feels native rather than flipped.
Arabic typography
Modern Arabic web fonts, correct line heights and no broken letter joining, tested on iOS and Android.
Translation workflow
We draft, you (or your reviewer) approve. Glossaries keep brand names, services and legal terms consistent.

Arabic & Bilingual Websites: FAQs
It is not legally required for most private businesses, but government-facing services, healthcare and consumer brands are expected to offer Arabic, and many tenders and marketplaces ask for it. For search, an Arabic version doubles the queries you can appear for.
