Enquire
UAE Licensing (SIRA)

Why protection in Dubai must be licensed.

In the UAE, private security is regulated by SIRA (the Security Industry Regulatory Agency in Dubai) and equivalent authorities across the Emirates. Close protection officers must be SIRA-licensed and trained to its standards; armed protection is reserved to the authorities and is not provided privately.

Algoz coordinates protection in Dubai exclusively through this licensed framework, with every operative SIRA-licensed, NDA-bound and discreet. See how our close protection works, add concierge and secure transport, or extend across Abu Dhabi, Doha and Beirut.

Indicative Investment

What protection in Dubai costs.

As a guide, professional close protection in the Gulf is, in 2026, typically USD 500–750 per day for a single principal on twelve-hour cover, with the final rate confirmed on enquiry and no obligation. Specialist profiles, armed or armoured requirements, short-notice mobilisation and peak season carry a premium.

Protecting celebrities & public figures

Actors, musicians, athletes, royals and the people the world recognises — celebrity protection is its own discipline: anti-paparazzi strategy, leak-proof operations, crowd and stalker management, and details that switch from red carpet to invisible in the same day.

Good to Know

Bodyguard in Dubai — Frequently Asked Questions

Why use Algoz rather than hiring a local security agency in Dubai directly?

Because vetting an unknown local security agency in Dubai yourself is where the real risk lies. Standards, licensing and discipline vary widely between firms, and a principal cannot tell a properly licensed, reliable operator from an underqualified one until something goes wrong in the field, when it is already too late. Algoz knows the Dubai market in United Arab Emirates: we have already worked with these providers, vetted them and kept only the best. Engage us and we select the right team for your profile, brief them under NDA and supervise them closely against our own standard throughout — so you gain genuine local knowledge and full licensing without gambling on an untested agency. One accountable point of contact owns the outcome, and you are never left managing an unfamiliar vendor in a foreign city.

Is it legal to hire a bodyguard in the UAE, and do they need a licence?

Yes. Private security in the UAE is regulated by SIRA; close protection officers must be SIRA-licensed, and armed protection is reserved to the authorities. Algoz coordinates only SIRA-licensed officers, including Arabic-speaking and female officers, fully compliant with UAE law.

Are your Dubai close protection officers SIRA-licensed?

Yes. Protection in the UAE is delivered by SIRA-licensed close protection officers, including Arabic-speaking and female officers for family and residence details, covering residences, hotels, malls and airports for royal, family-office and executive principals.

Does Algoz Group have a UAE licence?

Yes. Algoz FZ-LLC is registered in Ras Al Khaimah Free Zone (RAKEZ), Licence No. 5033995. All coordination is conducted from our UAE registered entity in full compliance with UAE law and RAKEZ regulations.

Can you arrange armed bodyguards in Dubai?

Armed close protection in the UAE requires specific SIRA/PSBD authorisation and a minimum 30-day processing lead time. Unarmed close protection is available on a standard 48-hour lead time. Contact us early for armed assignments.

Do you serve Abu Dhabi?

Yes. Our UAE network covers Abu Dhabi, the capital's private islands and estates, and all Formula 1 and cultural events at Yas Island and Saadiyat. Please specify your full UAE itinerary when enquiring.

Can security be combined with concierge?

Yes. Our operatives manage protection while coordinating yacht charters, helicopter tours, fine dining reservations, Dubai Opera access and personal shopping with full asset protection.

Can the client choose the bodyguard they prefer?

In many cases, yes. Given sufficient notice, and provided the request can be accommodated without compromising safety, the client may select the profile of the operative, and in most engagements is offered this choice. It cannot, however, override our professional security assessment, which always takes precedence.
