ChatGPT Ads in the UAE.
ChatGPT ads are live in the UAE. Businesses registered in the UAE can open their own advertiser account through the self-serve Ads Manager beta: OpenAI added the UAE to its availability table on 16 September 2026, and it is one of nine markets in the Middle East, North Africa and Turkey where OpenAI is expanding ads to users.

Running ChatGPT ads in the UAE.
OpenAI's minimum daily budget for an account billed in dirhams is 65 AED, roughly 17.70 USD. The row appeared at 70 AED in early September, before the UAE was on the availability table, and was lowered when the country joined it.
The UAE opened two weeks after its Gulf neighbours. Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman and Qatar have been eligible since 31 August 2026, and Saudi Arabia joined on the same day as the UAE.
UAE businesses verify with their exact trade licence name, licence number and a UAE-billing payment card. The account country and the AED currency are fixed at signup and cannot be changed later.
Eligibility follows where your business is registered. Targeting is set per campaign, so a UAE account can reach users at home, across the Gulf, in Europe, India or the US.
Ads appear as a sponsored card below the answer, to adults on the free and Go tiers, and they never change what ChatGPT says. We build, launch and manage the whole campaign: your side is the budget and the approvals.
