TL;DR: This shortlist brings together UAE tech creators covering gadgets, apps, AI and the stories behind new technology. Emkwan is a strong starting point for English-language product content; most of the list primarily publishes in Arabic, while NasTechy creates in Malayalam and Techperiments in Hindi/Hinglish. Use the table to find the right content style, then explore each creator’s audience and recent work.
Updated: 4 October 2026
A good tech video makes you see what a product could do for you. It might reveal a phone feature you have overlooked, explain an app without the jargon, or show whether a gadget deserves a place on your desk.
That is what brands should look for in a creator: someone who can turn a product into a story their audience wants to watch. Across the UAE, that story takes different forms—and languages. These ten creators offer a mix of approaches, from quick demonstrations to detailed reviews and industry conversations.

Rawaa Al Jallad makes technology feel approachable. The Dubai-based creator draws on her video-editing and production background to explain apps, useful tools and everyday digital shortcuts through visual storytelling. Her appeal lies in finding the part of a feature that makes someone think, “I could use that.” That makes her worth considering for brands whose products need a little explanation before their value becomes obvious, particularly when viewers want practical help rather than a technical deep dive.

He is worth a look when viewers need to see how a feature works outside a studio setup.

Shadi Dawi brings a media and communications perspective to technology. His work across journalism, interviews and event presentation makes him a different kind of option from a creator focused mainly on device reviews. He can be relevant when the story involves a founder, an industry development or an idea that needs a conversation to unpack it. For brands planning a launch discussion or business-facing content, the value is in connecting an announcement to what it means for the people listening.

Mohamed AbdelHakim covers the devices people carry, work on and use throughout the day. His public positioning spans phones, laptops, AI and cars, giving brands several points of connection with his content.

This is a useful fit for products that benefit from more than a quick introduction: a comparison, a setup walkthrough or a closer look at everyday performance. Brands considering him should match the depth of the video to the question they want prospective buyers to answer.

Finding the right fit for your brand
Start with the audience and the language they want to watch in. Then look at how each creator tells a story: a fast demonstration, a thoughtful review and a conversation with an industry expert serve different purposes.
Follower size helps describe an account, but recent comparable content tells you more about what a collaboration might look like. Ask for audience geography, examples in your category and a clear proposal covering production, publishing and usage rights. Explore more profiles in the UAE Creators directory.
