The database of community and public organisations of the UAE costs $30 USD. The price depends on the number of businesses in the selection. The whole base costs $470 USD — it pays off if you need the 3 largest emirates or more.

45% of the businesses have a phone number, 29% a website, 13% social media and 42% published opening hours. E-mails come from the businesses' own websites (11%). Every row has an address and coordinates. 2,284 numbers are mobile.

XLSX and CSV (UTF-8), one row per business: name, sector, category and other categories, chain, emirate, country, city, postcode, address, coordinates, phones, website, e-mail, social media, published opening hours and the date the business was added to the base. The files appear in your account right after payment.

With every update new businesses are added and those that the source marks as closed are removed.
