For a Dubai-focused platform, also consider relevant UAE data protection, payment, authentication, and real estate regulatory requirements early in the planning process.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_3_Design_UX_UI_and_Prototype\"><\/span><strong>Step 3.
