Google Cloud Middle East
Google’s cloud platform, present in the Middle East through regions in Qatar and Saudi Arabia
Overview
Google Cloud operates a cloud region in Doha, Qatar, launched in 2023 as the company’s first cloud region in the Gulf, and a second region in Dammam, Saudi Arabia, opened in November 2023 in partnership with Saudi Aramco’s digital infrastructure arm.
These regions bring Google Cloud Platform services, including compute, data and generative AI tools, closer to public sector organizations, large businesses, SMEs and startups in Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the wider Middle East, while allowing data to be kept in-country for regulatory and data residency requirements.
Google has published economic-impact studies estimating multi-billion-dollar contributions to the Qatari and Saudi economies from these cloud region investments, reported by Google Cloud’s own press materials and independent local media.
