A lot of companies have already opted for the .ae domain instead of (or as well as) the .com domain. This is due to many reasons but mainly because of better rankings due to local SEO and the fact that companies can also increase trust in customers by showing they’re local. There are also more .ae domain names to choose from so companies are more likely to find their perfect name still for sale. Companies that are using .ae domains include UAE-based businesses such as the Abu Dhabi Islamic Bank (adib.ae), Dubai Bank (dubaibank.ae), Abu Dhabi Media (admedia.ae), and the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (adnoc.ae).
