In general, there are two ways to find relevant influencers: searching manually on social media or using an influencer search tool. Here are some tips for both approaches!
1. Searching on Google
The most straightforward way to find influencers is by searching on Google – you’ve probably already tried that! You can search for keywords like bloggers in Dubai, fashion influencers in Dubai, or in more general, influencers in Arabia. The more specific your search term is, the better results you’ll get!
2. Searching manually on social media
The easiest way to find influencers on Instagram is by searching by hashtags and keywords: make sure to check relevant hashtags like #dubai, #dubaiinfluencer, #dubaiinfluencers, and #dubaiblogger. In case you’re looking for niche influencers, use niche hashtags like #dubaifashion.
Additionally, make sure to check locations like Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Sharjah, Umm Al Qaiwain, Fujairah, Ajman, and Ras Al Khaimah. You can also check local sights, restaurants, cafes, and other places that influencers might go to.
Once you’ve found an influencer you’d like to work with, you can check profiles that are similar to theirs: click on the little 🔽 button next to the “Message” button on their profile when on mobile or the little arrow button next to “Follow” when on desktop. This way, you will see a list of similar influencers you might want to work with!

When it comes to manually finding influencers on TikTok, the search process is the same: you can search by hashtags, keywords, and phrases. Try “Dubai”, for example!
When you’re on the phone, you can also set filters for the search. If you’re looking for influencers, select “Users” in the top menu – and use the filters to see profiles with over 10,000 or 100,000 followers. You can also set the profile type to “verified” to see celebrities and international companies. In the desktop version, the filtering options are limited.
3. Using an influencer search tool
Another option for finding influencers would be using an influencer search tool: it’s a huge time of save of time and helps you find much more relevant influencers in minutes.
Promoty is one of them: we have a global database with 190M social media influencers. By filtering the database by influencers’ interests, location, social media data, audience demographics, or other criteria, you can find exactly the right influencers for your brand.
If you’re looking for Dubai-based influencers, just set the Location field to “Dubai” or any relevant city or state – or use the keyword search as many influencers list their location in their bio.
If you’re looking for influencers with an audience from Dubai, set the Audience Location field to “Dubai” or United Arab Emirates. Additionally, you can filter influencers by age, gender, location, language, audience demographics, and other criteria.
