The Middle East has repeatedly stated its interest in cutting-edge technology. Many have undoubtedly been drawn in by the Metaverse. Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), and other nations in the area have been making significant investments in the online world. But with its most recent declaration, the UAE made the decision to enter the virtual realm.
The brand-new headquarters of the UAE Ministry of Economy will be situated in the Metaverse, according to the ministry. Abdulla bin Touq Al Marri, Minister of Economy, stated during his speech at the Dubai Metaverse Assembly that this was the ministry’s third address and wasn’t just a proof-of-concept.
There are now two offices for the Ministry in the UAE. One is seated in Abu Dhabi, and the other is in Dubai. The metaverse office would be its third, as was previously announced.
On the first day alone, the Dubai Metaverse Assembly attracted nearly 20,000 attendees. The virtual headquarters was demonstrated live for attendees, who noticed that anyone in the world may go there.
The corporate headquarters was a tall structure. In order to enter the building, guests would need to purchase a ticket. Its numerous floors are expected to each have a specific function.

The avatar for the ministry in the metaverse, Khalifa Al Jaziri, emphasized that because the metaverse is a 3D environment, voice prompts would be used for interactions.
People no longer need to visit the ministry’s physical location because all of its services are provided in the virtual world. In the digital office, for instance, contracts could supposedly be signed. Jaziri further said,
“So, anyone around the world who has a transaction with the ministry no longer has to come to the UAE to sign an agreement.”
The UAE’s most recent action has undoubtedly helped the nation advance in the virtual world’s race. While other nations were still looking into the potential of the technology, the UAE has already begun to develop it.
