Lahore engineering hub, serving Dubai & the UAE
Software & Web DevelopmentRas Al Khaimah
10silicon is a software company Ras Al Khaimah businesses can work with on straightforward terms: an experienced engineering team, prices set by Lahore costs rather than Dubai rents, and a working day that lines up with yours. We build websites, booking and operations systems, mobile apps and bilingual sites for RAKEZ free-zone companies, ceramics and industrial manufacturers, hotels and adventure tourism operators around Jebel Jais, and real estate and property management firms across the emirate.
Our engineering hub is in Lahore, Pakistan, one hour behind Gulf Standard Time. Across 7+ years and 100+ projects we have learned that RAK clients want software that does its job without constant attention, and a team that is still answering a year later.

Why it works
Why a Lahore hub works for software development in Ras Al Khaimah
Ras Al Khaimah is about an hour from Dubai, and businesses here are used to Dubai agencies treating that distance as a reason to charge more or visit less. Our model removes the issue. The developers, designers and testers on your project are full-time 10silicon staff in Lahore, the cost base is Lahore's, and the distance to RAK is the same as the distance to Dubai: a video call.
The one-hour difference from Gulf Standard Time means we are at our desks from the start of your morning until after your afternoon. For a resort taking bookings seven days a week or a plant running two shifts, that overlap matters more than a local address.
We do not have an office in Ras Al Khaimah or anywhere else in the UAE. Discovery sessions, sprint demos and training run over video, with staging links you can open on a phone. On-site visits can be arranged for larger projects when there is a clear reason, such as a walkthrough of a production line or a hotel back office.
Agency vs offshore vs hybrid
Choosing a ras al khaimah partner: how the options compare
Rates are indicative 2026 market figures for senior work. The point is not the cheapest hour; it is senior engineers, full working-hours overlap and ownership of what you pay for.
| Criteria | Dubai agency | Offshore shop | 10silicon |
|---|---|---|---|
| Indicative hourly rate | USD 60 - 120 | USD 15 - 35 | USD 25 - 45 |
| Working-hours overlap with GST | Full | Often 2 - 4 hours | Full (Lahore is GST minus 1) |
| Who you talk to | Account manager | Rotating contacts | Named engineer and project lead |
| Demos | Monthly or at milestones | Varies | Every two weeks on a staging URL |
| Code and accounts | Usually yours | Sometimes theirs | Always in your repos and cloud accounts |
| In-person meetings | At their office | Rare | Video any time; on-site in Dubai by arrangement |
| Arabic / RTL and UAE payments | Yes | Varies | Yes, standard on every build |
UAE-ready by default
Built for how business works in Ras Al Khaimah
Offshore teams often learn UAE requirements on your project. We treat them as standard scope, so Arabic, AED payments, VAT invoicing and data protection are designed in rather than bolted on.
- 01
Arabic & RTL interfaces
Bilingual English-Arabic layouts planned from the first wireframe, with right-to-left mirroring and Arabic typography that holds up on mobile.
- 02
UAE payment gateways
Integration with Network International, Telr, PayTabs, Stripe and bank gateways, plus Tabby and Tamara instalments and cash on delivery flows.
- 03
VAT and e-invoicing
FTA-compliant tax invoices with TRN, 5% VAT handling, credit notes and exports your accountant can reconcile.
- 04
Data protection by design
Built with the UAE Personal Data Protection Law in mind: consent records, access control, encryption and data residency in Gulf cloud regions when required.
- 05
Sector rules designed in
For fintech, healthcare and education builds we design for regulator expectations such as CBUAE, DHA and MOHAP requirements; compliance sign-off stays with your advisers.
- 06
WhatsApp-first customer flows
Click-to-chat, WhatsApp Business API notifications and lead capture, because that is how UAE customers actually get in touch.
Compliance sign-off for regulated sectors stays with your legal and regulatory advisers; we build to the requirements they specify.
RAKEZ and industry
Software company for Ras Al Khaimah manufacturers and RAKEZ companies
RAKEZ hosts thousands of companies, from one-person consultancies to industrial plants, and the emirate is home to ceramics, cement, pharmaceutical and building materials producers alongside hundreds of smaller workshops and suppliers. The software they need is practical: a dealer portal where distributors check stock and place orders, a dispatch board for trucks leaving the yard, a quality log that replaces a clipboard, or a catalogue export buyers can search by specification.
We scope these systems tightly during Strategic Discovery, build them in two-week sprints and connect them to what you already run, whether that is an accounting package, an ERP or a spreadsheet that has outgrown itself. New RAKEZ companies get a credible bilingual website quickly, structured so a portal or store can be added later without starting over.
- Dealer and distributor portals with tiered pricing and order history
- Searchable catalogues with datasheets and request-for-quote forms
- Dispatch, delivery and field service apps for drivers and technicians
Tourism
Tourism and hospitality apps for RAK hotels and Jebel Jais operators
Tourism is now central to the RAK economy, with resorts along the coast, adventure operators on Jebel Jais, and desert camps and tour companies in between. Their software needs are specific: a booking engine that handles time slots, group sizes and equipment, a waiver and check-in flow guests complete on a phone, pricing that changes for peak weekends, and reporting that shows which products actually make money.
We build these on Laravel or Node.js with a React front end, connect UAE payment gateways, and add a React Native or Flutter app when guests or guides need one. For hotels we integrate with channel managers and existing property management systems rather than replacing them.
Property
Real estate and property management systems in RAK
Property in Ras Al Khaimah ranges from waterfront developments on Al Marjan Island to industrial warehouses and long-standing residential buildings, and the companies managing it need more than a listings page. We build listing sites with map search and bilingual property details, tenant portals for rent payments and maintenance requests, and dashboards that track leases, renewals and outstanding payments across a portfolio.
For brokers and developers the website is a lead engine: fast property pages, enquiry forms that reach the right agent and tracking that shows which campaigns produce viewings. For property managers the priority is operations: a tenant's maintenance request should become a technician's job, with photos, status and a record, without three phone calls in between.
Languages and search
Bilingual websites and local SEO for Ras Al Khaimah
Most RAK businesses serve Arabic and English speakers in similar numbers, so every site we build for the emirate is bilingual by default: right-to-left layouts, Arabic typography that stays readable, separate meta titles per language and one admin for both. You supply the Arabic copy, or we arrange a native writer for the pages that matter most.
Local SEO in RAK rewards effort because competition is lighter than in Dubai. A complete Google Business Profile, consistent business details, location pages for the areas you serve and monthly keyword work in both languages can put a business on the first page for local searches within months, with reporting on rankings, calls and form submissions.
