Introduction
Dubai Mall footfall = 150 nationalities per weekend. Hit the wrong cultural nerve and you’re viral for all the wrong reasons. Do it right and you unlock a market where average basket sizes dwarf most regions.
1 Do: Map Cultural Buyer Personas
| Persona | Language | Key Value | Hot Channels |
| Young Arab Professional | Arabic/English | Brand prestige | Insta Reels, Snapchat |
| Indian Expat Family | Hindi/English | Value + quality | FB Groups, WhatsApp |
| Western Tourist | English | Experience | Google Things-to-Do, TikTok |
| Filipino Nurse | Taglish | Community vibe | TikTok, FB Watch |
2 Do: Localise Calendar & Content
Ramadan, UAE National Day, Diwali—each demands unique visuals, offer logic, and ad timing (sunset surge). Pre-load creative variants.
3 Don’t: Assume English Creative Scales
Arabic font direction, colour symbolism (green = prosperity), and modest imagery guidelines must be honoured.
4 Payment & Logistics Nuances
- Cash on Delivery still 41 % of UAE e-commerce (Payfort, 2025).
- Same-day delivery windows (3-hour slots) triple conversion in expat districts.
5 CX > CPM
Filipino shoppers rate WhatsApp voice notes highly; Indian expats prefer live-chat transcripts. Tailor CX channels, not just ads.
