    I think this is due to the data residency requirements in UAE. I'm working with a client in the health space and the government requirements requires me to store data only in UAE! Tried with AWS but they were not allowing any new instances and I had to go with Azure.

      Check if the requirement is "only in the uae" or has to have the primary copy in the UAE

        I rechecked, so for an offshore copy, you need to get special approval from DOH, which in itself is a hassle.
