Arabic first, for Riyadh.

Saudi customers expect service in Arabic, on WhatsApp, and fast. We design agents for that from Dubai, and we are upfront that we work with Riyadh clients remotely.

Short answer

For Riyadh companies, ORVL builds AI agents remotely from its Dubai base: Arabic-first customer, booking and lead follow-up agents on WhatsApp, web chat and phone, designed around the Saudi Personal Data Protection Law (PDPL), which is overseen by SDAIA. Oravel has no office in Saudi Arabia. Quotes are in euro or AED: one system from €3,900 (AED 15,900) excl. VAT.

Why this city is different

A fast-moving market that speaks Arabic.

Under Vision 2030, many Saudi companies are digitising customer service and sales at the same time as they grow. Customers increasingly expect an instant reply on WhatsApp, and they expect it in Arabic, not a translated English script.

Saudi Arabia has its own data-protection regime, the PDPL, with its own rules on processing and on transferring personal data outside the Kingdom. Where data is processed and stored is therefore a design question, not an afterthought.

What we adapt here

Local, in practice.

01Arabic designed first

Prompts, knowledge and tone written in Arabic first, with English alongside.

02Data location decided early

Where conversations are processed and stored is agreed in the Blueprint, with your advisers.

03WhatsApp and voice

WhatsApp Business Platform and voice agents that answer and book in Arabic.

04Formal registers

Tone tuned for corporate, government-facing or family-business customers.

05Remote delivery

Sessions on video, build in your accounts, weekly reviews online.

Rules we build around

Regulation, in plain words.

We are not Saudi lawyers. The points below are what we design around; your counsel confirms how they apply to you.

Saudi PDPL (Royal Decree M/19 of 2021, amended 2023), in force since 14 September 2023, supervised by SDAIA
Cross-border transfer rules: check the current implementing regulations before any data leaves the Kingdom
Sector regulators (for example SAMA for financial firms) can add their own requirements
Customers told they are talking to an assistant, and able to reach a person
How we work with you

Remote, and honest about it.

We work with Riyadh clients from Dubai: the audit and Blueprint run on video, the build happens in your own accounts and cloud, and progress is reviewed every week. In-person sessions can be planned for larger builds.

We have no Saudi entity and no published Saudi client case. If local presence is a hard requirement for you, we will say so early rather than waste your time.

FAQ

Common questions.

Do you have an office in Riyadh?

No. Oravel is based in Dubai and works with Saudi clients remotely, with in-person visits by arrangement.

Can data stay in Saudi Arabia?

That depends on the tools and hosting your build uses. We map every data flow in the Blueprint so your counsel can check it against the PDPL and its transfer rules before anything goes live.

Do you invoice in riyal?

No. We quote in euro or AED, excl. VAT and local taxes; we do not publish SAR prices.

Which Arabic does the agent use?

Modern Standard Arabic by default, adapting to Gulf and Najdi phrasing in replies. We test the tone with your team before go-live.
