When to check this page
Users in the United Arab Emirates should consult this page if they encounter widespread issues with digital services. This includes situations where multiple unrelated applications fail to load across different devices, online payments consistently decline, or login attempts result in continuous loops. Such symptoms often suggest a broader underlying outage rather than an isolated problem with a single device or application. It is advisable to cross-reference information found here with the official status pages of specific service providers for the most direct updates. This approach helps to differentiate between local network issues and regional service disruptions, offering a clearer understanding of the root cause.

FAQ - United Arab Emirates outages
Is the internet down in United Arab Emirates?
A reported outage on this page does not necessarily mean the entire internet is down in the United Arab Emirates. It indicates a significant disruption to one or more major digital services or infrastructure components that serve the region. The internet is a complex network, and total unavailability is rare. Typically, specific cloud providers, a few large SaaS platforms, or certain telecom networks might experience issues. If you can access some websites but not others, or only specific apps are affected, it points to a more localised or service-specific problem rather than a complete internet shutdown.
Which cloud regions serve United Arab Emirates?
The United Arab Emirates is primarily served by major hyperscale cloud regions located both within the Middle East and surrounding geographies. These include dedicated regions established by providers such as AWS (e.g., UAE Region), Microsoft Azure (e.g., UAE North), and Google Cloud Platform (e.g., multiple regions in the Middle East or neighbouring Europe). These data centres host a vast array of services, and their operational status directly impacts digital services for users and businesses in the United Arab Emirates. Proximity to these regions helps to minimise latency and improve service performance for local users.
Why do apps go down even when my connection works?
Applications can become unavailable even when a user's own internet connection is functional due to their reliance on shared cloud infrastructure. While your home or mobile network might be operating normally, the applications themselves are often hosted on remote servers in data centres. If an outage occurs at one of these cloud data centres, or affects a core network component that the application depends on, the application will become inaccessible regardless of your local connectivity. This highlights the interconnected nature of digital services and their dependencies on robust underlying infrastructure.
How quickly is this page updated?
This page is updated continuously as new information becomes available from our various sources. GlobalOutageMap employs an automated ingestion pipeline that monitors official status pages, aggregates public reports, and analyses real-time network telemetry. While our system aims for rapid detection and reporting, there can be a slight delay between an incident's onset and its full representation here, as data needs to be validated to avoid false positives. This platform provides signal-aggregation and should not be considered an official status page for any specific provider.
What should I do during an outage in United Arab Emirates?
During an outage affecting services in the United Arab Emirates, it is generally advisable to avoid attempting technical fixes that might worsen the situation, such as repeatedly restarting devices or redeploying applications. First, check this page for confirmed regional issues. Then, consult the official status pages of the specific service providers you are trying to use, as they offer the most authoritative and detailed updates. Patience is often key, as providers typically work to restore services swiftly and communicate progress. Focus on monitoring for resolution updates and resuming normal operations once services are restored.
