Why cannot you use the search? This question was discussed a lot. All possible providers were posted. I rarely visit this forum, now due to ovh and I saw such topic several times recently.

Tl dr, all providers in the Gulf are super expensive. bw.ae is the most known, but the pricing is terrible. AEserver also works there, but you need to confirm if they still host in Gulf or moved somewhere.

Also, companies like Alibaba Cloud, Azure provide VPS in these locations.

Because you're requesting something?

You will struggle to find any vps in the middle East for a reasonable price and be prepared to have to provide id.

Edit: Israel may be the exception interms of price but routing from Israel goes via Cyprus, Greece and Italy so probably not ideal for your use case.

Any other suggestion for this (UAE/Gulf is fine)? OneCloud would be perfect but it's not available at the moment for Dubai.

Thanks

Google still building their Qatar region but you can create a VM in Bahrain in AWS.

How is the latency from UAE to Mumbai? in theory should be very low.

There are multiple parts of this forum and the Request section is exactly the place for this topic.

Another option for the Gulf area: Oracle Cloud, they offer SA and AE locations and there's a free tier.

30-40 ms much better than going Singapore
