Sites Blocked in UAE September 2023

 UAE (United Arab Emirates) had strict regulations in place regarding internet access and content. Many websites and online services were blocked or restricted in the UAE due to their content being considered inconsistent with the country's cultural and religious values, or for other reasons such as national security concerns.

Please note that the situation might have changed since then. To get the most up-to-date information about which websites are currently blocked in the UAE, I recommend checking with official sources or using a VPN service to access the internet as if you were in the UAE and see what websites are accessible.

Keep in mind that using a VPN to bypass internet restrictions in the UAE might be against the law, so make sure to research and understand the legal implications before using such services.



  1. Websites and tools used to circumvent restricted content: These encompass proxy servers and virtual private networks (VPNs), enabling access to content that is otherwise blocked.

  2. Explicit content, nudity, and morally objectionable material.

  3. Impersonation, deceit, and phishing activities.

  4. Defamation, slander, and disrespectful statements.

  5. Violations of personal privacy.

  7. Encouragement of criminal behavior and dissemination of unlawful expertise: Content that incites, advocates, encourages, or educates on criminal activities or felonies.

  8. Illicit drugs and related content.

  9. Medical and pharmaceutical practices that infringe on the law: This encompasses content promoting or trading pharmaceuticals without proper prescriptions.

  10. Violations of intellectual property rights.

  11. Bias, racism, and disdain towards religion.
