Vida Markets Expands Its Reach Across the Middle East and North Africa, Offering World-Class CFD and Forex Trading Solutions

 Dubai, UAE — February 2026 — Vida Markets, the globally recognised FX and CFD broker, is proud to announce the continued growth of its services across the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, bringing institutional-grade trading technology, multi-asset access, and dedicated Arabic-speaking support to traders in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries, the Levant, and North Africa.

With a rapidly expanding trader base in key markets including Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Egypt, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain, Jordan, and Morocco, Vida Markets is positioning itself as the broker of choice for Arabic-speaking retail and professional traders seeking a transparent, reliable, and technologically advanced trading partner.

Serving the Growing Appetite for Financial Markets in the Arab World

The MENA region has seen a significant surge in retail trading participation over recent years, driven by increased smartphone penetration, a young and digitally native population, and a growing interest in alternative investment vehicles. Vida Markets is uniquely positioned to meet this demand with one of the most comprehensive multi-asset offerings available to MENA traders today.

A Full Spectrum of Trading Instruments

●     Forex — Major, minor, and exotic currency pairs, including AED, SAR, EGP, and other regionally relevant currencies, making Vida Markets a natural home for traders in the Gulf and beyond.

●     Indices — Buy or sell major global stock market benchmarks in a single trade, covering US, European, and Asian markets. Vida Markets also offers cutting-edge AI Indices — a forward-looking product line that reflects the growing intersection of artificial intelligence and financial markets, a theme of increasing interest across the UAE's Vision 2031 and Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 agendas.

●     Commodities — Direct exposure to Gold (XAU/USD), Silver, and Crude Oil — assets of particular strategic, economic, and cultural significance across the Gulf Cooperation Council states. Traders can benefit from price movements without physically owning the underlying asset.

●     Metals — Beyond gold and silver, Vida Markets provides access to a broader range of precious and industrial metals, offering diversification opportunities suited to commodity-driven economies across the region.

●     Shares / Equities — CFD trading on the world's leading global brands, blue-chip companies, and emerging market equities, allowing MENA traders to take positions on companies they know and use every day.

●     Cryptocurrencies — Trading on the most popular digital assets including Bitcoin, Ethereum, and more — reflecting the rapid and growing crypto adoption across the UAE, which has positioned itself as a global digital assets hub, and the wider MENA market.

●     ETFs (Exchange-Traded Funds) — A flexible and cost-effective way for traders to gain diversified market exposure across sectors and geographies through a single instrument.

●     Bonds — Access to fixed-income instruments, providing opportunities for traders seeking lower-volatility exposure and portfolio balance — a product particularly relevant for conservative and institutional traders across the region.

●     Futures — Standardised contracts to buy or sell assets at a predetermined price and date, offering sophisticated traders in the MENA region powerful tools for hedging and speculative strategies.

●     Options — Advanced derivative instruments that give traders the right, but not the obligation, to buy or sell an asset at a set price, enabling highly flexible risk management strategies for experienced market participants.

This breadth of instruments across 10 distinct asset classes makes Vida Markets one of the most comprehensively stocked brokers accessible to traders throughout the Arab world.

Account Types Designed for Every Trader in the Region

Vida Markets understands that no two traders are alike. Whether you are a first-time retail investor in Cairo, a seasoned professional in Dubai, or a fund manager operating across the GCC, the broker offers a tailored account structure to match your needs, experience, and values.

STP Account (Straight Through Processing) — Ideal for retail traders seeking fast, transparent order execution with no dealing desk intervention. Orders are passed directly to liquidity providers, ensuring competitive pricing and reliable fills — a strong starting point for traders across the region building their market experience.

ECN Account (Electronic Communications Network) — Designed for active and professional traders who demand the tightest spreads and direct market access. ECN accounts connect traders to a deep pool of global liquidity, making them particularly attractive for high-frequency traders and those operating in the dynamic GCC forex markets.

Corporate Account — Tailored for businesses, trading companies, and legal entities across the MENA region looking to manage treasury operations, hedge currency exposure, or participate in global financial markets through a professionally structured account with dedicated relationship management.

Islamic Account (Swap-Free) — Vida Markets is deeply committed to serving the Muslim trading community across the Arab world. The Islamic Account is fully Sharia-compliant, operating on a swap-free basis with no interest charges on overnight positions. This account type reflects Vida Markets' genuine understanding of and respect for Islamic finance principles, making it a trusted choice for Muslim traders from Casablanca to Muscat.

Swap-Free Account — Also available outside the Islamic account framework for traders who prefer to avoid overnight swap charges for operational or strategic reasons, ensuring maximum flexibility regardless of geography or faith background.

PAMM / MAM Account (Percentage Allocation Management Module / Multi-Account Manager) — Purpose-built for professional money managers and fund administrators across the MENA region. These solutions allow experienced traders to manage multiple client accounts simultaneously from a single master account, allocating trades proportionally and generating additional income from their proven strategies. With the rapid growth of wealth management and private investment across the GCC, PAMM and MAM solutions represent a significant opportunity for qualified money managers in the region.

Technology That Meets the Modern Arab Trader's Needs

Vida Markets offers access to MetaTrader 4 (MT4) and MetaTrader 5 (MT5) — the industry's most trusted platforms — alongside its proprietary VIDA PAMM solution and VM Social copy trading platform. These tools are available across desktop, iOS, and Android devices, ensuring seamless access for traders whether they are in Riyadh, Cairo, Dubai, or Amman.

A Regulated, Trusted Partner
