AI SDR for the UAE: outreach that fits Dubai and Abu Dhabi

Decision makers in the UAE answer on WhatsApp and LinkedIn as much as by email, and they expect a personal note, not a template. ZOROSDR finds the right people, writes to each one in your voice and follows up across those channels, with a person approving every message. It's built in Dubai.

Working week
Monday to Friday for most private companies (since January 2022); many free-zone firms work the same week.
Time zone
Gulf Standard Time (UTC+4), all year.

The rules

What to know before you reach out in the UAE.

Personal data protection (PDPL)

Federal Decree-Law No. 45 of 2021 protects personal data, business contacts included. It has applied since January 2022; its executive regulations, which set out the details, were still awaited when we last checked. Free zones such as DIFC and ADGM have their own data protection laws.

Telemarketing calls

Cabinet Resolution No. 56 of 2024 limits marketing calls to 9:00 to 18:00, bars calling numbers on the Do Not Call Registry run by the TDRA, and says not to call again the same day after someone declines.

Official source

Consent for WhatsApp and SMS

Messaging apps and texts are personal channels: keep them to people who agreed to hear from you.

Questions

Outreach in the UAE: what people ask.

Is cold outreach allowed in the UAE?

Business outreach is common, but personal data law (PDPL) and the 2024 telemarketing rules apply. Keep calls to 9:00 to 18:00, respect the Do Not Call Registry, use WhatsApp and SMS only with consent, and stop when someone says no. This isn't legal advice.

Which channels work best for B2B in Dubai?

LinkedIn and email to open the conversation, then WhatsApp once someone has agreed to it. ZOROSDR runs all of them in one sequence.

Can ZOROSDR find leads in the UAE?

Yes. The Lookalike Prospect Finder and the High-Intent Leads Finder search by country, city, industry and role, and can filter for Arabic speakers.
