Why prices sit where they do
Dubai holds the UAE's interconnection rather than its largest capacity. The catalog records eight facilities and 200 MW here against six facilities and 262 MW in Abu Dhabi, and none of the Dubai sites is classed AI-ready while two of Abu Dhabi's are — this emirate's role is carrier and enterprise density, not GPU halls. The operator mix reinforces it: Equinix alongside Moro Hub under Digital DEWA, du and Microsoft, so utility- and telco-owned facilities compete with a thin carrier-neutral bench, which limits how far a retail quote travels. Reach is the asset being sold — 32 ms to Mumbai, 87 ms to Kuala Lumpur, 96 ms to Jakarta, 118 ms to Frankfurt and 124 ms to Bangkok from one site. Power at $0.110/kWh keeps operating cost down despite the climate. Buyers with a certification requirement should note that only two of the eight carry Tier III or IV, so the qualifying shortlist is short.
