Which UAE/GCC data-centre? AWS Bahrain vs Azure UAE vs G42, what should I pick?

Depends on data-residency need, scale, and budget. AWS me-south-1 (Bahrain) is our default for most Dubai Magento stores, ~5 ms latency from Dubai, full Magento + Adobe Commerce support, mature ecosystem (RDS Aurora MySQL, ElastiCache Redis, OpenSearch, ECS / EKS, CloudFront with MENA edges). Azure UAE (Dubai & Abu Dhabi regions, added 2019), pick this if you’re Microsoft-heavy (D365 ERP, Office 365, Active Directory SSO) or have a hard onshore-only data-residency clause. Adobe Commerce Cloud is Frankfurt-based with Bahrain edge, fine for most, but if you need full UAE-onshore data you need a self-hosted Azure UAE deploy. G42 (Abu Dhabi), UAE sovereign cloud, growing, good for govt / regulated B2B with a Mandatory-UAE-onshore clause. Etisalat / e& Cloud and Du Cloud are options for purely UAE-onshore but less Magento-mature. Cost: AWS Bahrain < Azure UAE < G42 sovereign. Tell us your data-residency clause in the audit and we’ll pick.
