Microsoft licensing in the Middle East and Central Asia
Microsoft prices the Middle East in US dollars, and many companies from Dubai to Almaty end up buying through a reseller in another region at another region’s prices. We hold Microsoft’s authorisation for forty-four countries from the UAE and Saudi Arabia to Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Georgia, Türkiye and South Africa, invoice in US dollars from Sharjah with a UAE tax registration, and work hours that overlap fully with the Gulf.
One partner that can contract with the UAE holding, the Kazakh subsidiary and the Georgian office, and one team that knows the whole tenant.

Every price on this site excludes VAT. UAE businesses see it added at five per cent against our tax registration; customers outside the UAE are invoiced without it.
The Gulf, Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Türkiye, the Caucasus, Central Asia, the Balkans, Ukraine, Moldova, Pakistan and South Africa, all invoiced from the same place.
Our engineers work European hours, three to four hours behind the Gulf and Central Asia: the whole of your afternoon is our working day.

Because that is how Microsoft prices the market. A dirham invoice would be a conversion of a dollar price, and most regional groups keep their software budgets in dollars anyway.
