In short
A Magento audit in Dubai is an independent, evidence-based review of your store’s performance, code quality, security and upgrade readiness, run by a Dubai-licensed Adobe Commerce Certified Expert. You get a prioritised report with severity ratings, effort estimates and a fix plan - from AED 6,000 (USD 1,650), delivered in ~5-10 business days, on-site in Dubai or fully remote. Beyond audits, I handle Magento upgrades and security patching, performance fixes, store configuration, GCC integrations and ongoing support for UAE stores.
// why
Why a Dubai-based Magento audit
Most audit providers ranking for the UAE work from another timezone, or treat the audit as one line in a maintenance package. I am an Adobe Commerce Certified Expert, licensed and based in Dubai, so you get a named specialist in your working hours (GST) who understands the GCC commerce stack - not a ticket in a queue.
A Dubai Sole Professional Licence (No. 107896) - a registered, invoiceable UAE provider

// services
Magento services in Dubai beyond the audit
An audit tells you what to fix; most UAE stores then need someone senior to fix it. The same Dubai-licensed expert who audits your store can carry the work through - directly for merchants, or white-label behind your agency. Every engagement starts with a short scoping call and a written estimate.
⬆️
Upgrades & security patching
Moving to a supported Magento 2.4.x release, or applying critical security patches when a full upgrade is not in the budget yet.
⚡
Performance optimisation
Fixing what the audit measured: full-page cache and Varnish, Redis, N+1 queries, indexers and Core Web Vitals on Luma or Hyvä.
⚙️
Setup & configuration
Environments, CI/CD deployments, multi-store and multi-currency (AED, SAR) setup, and UAE VAT configured correctly from day one.
🔌
GCC integrations
Telr, PayTabs, N-Genius, Tabby and Tamara payments, Aramex logistics, and ERP, PIM or WMS connections built to survive failures.
🎨
Hyvä & Arabic storefronts
Hyvä Theme and Checkout builds and migrations, with correct Arabic / RTL layout, fonts and checkout.
🤝
Ongoing support
A senior Magento engineer on call for your team or agency, in your timezone (GST), for fixes, reviews and releases.
// scope
What the Magento audit covers
The audit is the same depth I deliver worldwide, across the areas that actually decide a Magento store’s speed, stability and cost of change. Every finding is rated by severity and placed in a prioritised roadmap with an effort estimate in work-hours.
⚡
Performance & Web Vitals
Core Web Vitals (LCP, INP, CLS), TTFB and full-page cache measured against real thresholds.
🧱
Code & architecture
Anti-patterns, plugin and preference abuse, and the technical debt that makes every change slower.
🔒
Security
Missing patches, known CVEs, admin hardening and points of data exposure.
⬆️
Upgrade readiness
Blockers, EOL versions and the effort and risk of moving to a supported release.
🧩
Module bloat
Third-party module bloat and conflicts that weigh the store down and complicate upgrades.
🔎
Technical SEO
Crawlability, structured data and duplicate content created by layered navigation.
// GCC stack
Built for GCC storefronts
A store selling in the UAE and GCC has integrations a generic audit ignores. I check the parts of your Magento that are specific to this market, because they are where regional stores most often break or leak conversion.
Regional payment gateways: Telr, PayTabs, Network International (N-Genius), plus Tabby and Tamara BNPL
Logistics integrations: Aramex and local courier / fulfilment flows
Arabic and RTL storefront correctness (layout, fonts, checkout, indexing of Arabic content)
Multi-currency (AED, SAR) and multi-store setup across GCC markets
UAE VAT (5%) configured correctly in Magento tax rules, tax classes and invoices
// pricing
Magento audit pricing in AED
No competitor ranking for Magento audits in the UAE publishes a price - you have to request a quote and wait. I don’t. Three fixed packages, priced in AED (USD in brackets), so you know the cost before the first call.
Indicative prices - the final quote depends on store size and the number of integrations.
// process
How it works
The audit is non-invasive and does not touch your production store. You share the source code and an anonymised copy of the database; I analyse on a copy, then we walk the report through together - remotely, or in person in Dubai.
Access & discovery
You hand over the source code as an archive or read access to the repository, plus an anonymised copy of the production database (no real sensitive data) and credentials to test accounts for every integration. We talk through your goals and what hurts most - slow pages, a stalled upgrade, or a build you inherited - so the audit targets what actually matters to you.
Analysis
I profile the store, gather metrics and run static analysis on a copy, so there is zero impact on your live storefront. Every layer is checked - performance, code, security, the upgrade path and the GCC integrations - and each issue is documented with evidence rather than opinion. You keep trading normally while the work happens in the background.
Report
You get a written report where every finding is rated by severity and placed in a prioritised roadmap, each with an effort estimate in work-hours and a costed fix. It is written to be read by both a technical team and a business owner, so you can act on it in-house or hand it to any developer without losing context.
Review & roadmap
We walk the report through together in a live session, on-site in Dubai or Abu Dhabi or fully remote, so nothing is lost in translation. You leave with an agreed order of work and clear next steps - whether you implement them yourself, with your agency, or with me. There is no obligation to buy any implementation from me.
// who
Who it’s for
UAE and GCC merchants who suspect their Magento is slower, riskier or more expensive to change than it should be; agencies that want an independent second opinion on a build they inherited or outsourced; and teams weighing an Adobe Commerce upgrade who need the effort and risk quantified before they commit budget.
Yes. I am an Adobe Commerce Certified Expert licensed and based in Dubai (Sole Professional Licence No. 107896), delivering independent Magento audits for merchants and agencies across the UAE and the wider GCC. You get a registered, invoiceable UAE provider working in your timezone, on-site in Dubai or remotely.
From AED 6,000 (USD 1,650) for the Code & Architecture package, AED 8,000 (USD 2,200) for the Performance audit, and AED 10,000 (USD 2,700) for the Comprehensive audit. Prices are fixed and known upfront - no "request a quote and wait". The final figure depends on store size and the number of integrations.
Both. The audit itself runs on a copy of your code and database, so it can be done fully remotely for any GCC store. When it helps, I meet on-site in Dubai or Abu Dhabi for the kick-off or the report review - your choice.
Yes. I audit Magento Open Source, Adobe Commerce (Enterprise) and B2B, and the Mage-OS fork, on Luma, Hyva and headless frontends. The methodology is the same across editions; Adobe Commerce adds areas like B2B features, staging and commerce-specific modules.
Yes. I check regional integrations such as Telr, PayTabs, Network International (N-Genius), Tabby and Tamara, plus Aramex logistics, and I review Arabic / RTL storefront correctness - layout, checkout, fonts and how Arabic content is indexed. These are exactly the areas a generic audit skips.
Yes. I review whether UAE VAT (5%) is set up correctly in Magento - tax rules, tax classes, price display, and compliant tax invoices - and flag misconfigurations that cause wrong totals or non-compliant documents. Fixes can be part of the roadmap or handled separately.
Yes. Beyond audits I upgrade Magento to a supported 2.4.x release, apply security patches, fix performance problems and provide ongoing senior support for UAE and GCC stores, in GST working hours. Each engagement starts with a scoping call and a written estimate, and audit findings can feed straight into the work.
Yes. I set up environments and CI/CD deployments and configure multi-store, multi-currency (AED, SAR) and UAE VAT correctly, together with regional payment and shipping integrations. For a new build or a replatforming I start with discovery and an estimate, so scope and budget are clear before any development begins.
Yes. Besides merchants, I work white-label for agencies in Dubai and the wider GCC - audits for their clients, pre-sales and estimation support, and senior Magento capacity under the agency's brand. The client relationship stays with the agency.
Yes. I work with merchants across the GCC - Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain and Oman - remotely, including multi-store and multi-currency (AED, SAR) setups. The Dubai base simply means same-timezone work and the option to meet in person in the UAE.
