The AI-native application cloud forthe Middle East & Africa
Built on federated global compute. Push-to-Deploy your apps, APIs, and agents to 10 countries, active-active across regions, on local GPUs. Sovereign-ready by design.
GLOBAL FEDERATED COMPUTE
One network. 10 MEA countries. <30 ms to your users.
Live or rolling out across the region. CPU and GPU in every market. One control plane, federated active-active.
WHY MANARA
Not another hyperscaler. Not another OpenStack distro.
A PaaS-native, AI-native application cloud, built for product teams, regulated enterprises, and telco partners across the Middle East and Africa.
ONE PLATFORM
Apps, AI, and agents, one place.
One control plane. One billing engine. One developer experience, across every country we deploy in.
Built for product teams. Trusted by regulated buyers.
Vercel-grade ergonomics for developers. Production AI on local GPUs. Compliance-grade controls for banks, telcos, and government. The same platform, all three audiences.
Open-source AI, production-ready
Llama, Qwen, DeepSeek, Jais, Mistral, Phi, managed vLLM endpoints on local GPUs. OpenAI-compatible API, per-token billing in your currency, eval harness, fine-tuning (LoRA/QLoRA) built in.
Unified observability
Metrics, logs, and traces across every region in one pane. Per-region cost attribution and audit trails built in.
Built for regulated buyers
Banks, telcos, government, healthcare. In-region data, residency controls per market, audit trails, and SSO, without bolting on compliance after the fact.
Federation, not replication
Live in 2 or 3 regions, active-active. Traffic shifts automatically on region failure. Workloads stay close to users across 10 MEA countries.
Owned inference on local GPUs
Llama, Qwen, DeepSeek, Jais, open-source models served on GPUs in your country. Tokens metered locally, not in Frankfurt or Virginia.
WHAT YOU GET
The platform layer your region didn't have
Apps, AI, and infrastructure. One API surface, one billing engine, one developer experience, across every region we run in.
git push → live app, API, background worker, or cron, across 2 or 3 regions with preview envs, auto-failover, secrets, and TLS. Build packs for every major framework.
Managed vLLM endpoints for Llama, Qwen, DeepSeek, Jais, Phi, Mistral. OpenAI-compatible API, per-token billing in local currency, served from in-country GPUs.
Long-running agents with tool use, memory, and managed state. LLMOps, prompt versioning, eval harness, built for production, not demos.
PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, MongoDB, Redis, Cassandra. Automated backups, point-in-time recovery, HA standbys, kept in-region by default.
On-demand GPU instances in Pakistan, UAE, Saudi Arabia, and beyond. AI training, inference, and graphics workloads, served from the country closest to your users.
Unified gateway across local and frontier models. Per-team metering, prompt caching, fallback routing, content policy. One API key, many models.
One invoice in your currency, with per-region cost attribution. No FX surprises, no extraterritorial metering, no minimum commitments.
One IAM, one audit log across every region. RBAC, API tokens, SSO, and full audit trails, ready for regulated buyers out of the box.
GLOBAL FEDERATED COMPUTE
10 countries. One network. One control plane.
Most regional clouds claim "10 countries" and mean 10 disconnected datacenters. We deliver one federated platform, live in 2 or 3 regions, active-active, with one IAM, one audit log, one invoice across every market we run in.
Infrastructure as Code
Define your stack with Terraform, Pulumi, or the native Manara SDK. Reproducible deployments, drift detection, and GitOps-friendly workflows, region-aware out of the box.
10 countries, one network
Karachi, Riyadh, Lagos, Cairo, Nairobi, and growing. CPU + GPU in every region. <30 ms latency for app, API, and inference traffic.
Security & compliance
Encrypted at rest and in transit, network isolation, RBAC, audit logging, with in-region deployment options for the most sensitive workloads.
Automated Backups
Point-in-time recovery for databases, snapshots for compute, geo-redundant storage, all kept in-region, all under your control.
Federated auto-scale
Scale apps, GPU workers, and AI endpoints across regions on demand. Federation routes each request to the closest region with capacity.
Developer API
Every resource, apps, models, agents, infra, controllable via REST API with OpenAPI spec and typed SDKs.
manara deploy
One CLI command, one repo, live across 10 countries. Scriptable, fast, and designed for the way teams actually ship.
Built with the MEA developer community
Connect with product teams across Karachi, Riyadh, Lagos, Cairo, and Nairobi. Share patterns, ship faster, and shape the platform layer your region has been waiting for.

What buyers, builders, and partners ask before they pick Manara
Frequently Asked Questions
Manara is the AI application cloud for the Middle East and Africa. We give product teams a Vercel-style `git push` to deploy apps, APIs, agents, and managed AI inference across 10 MEA countries, with local data, local inference on local GPUs, and one invoice in local currency.
Three audiences. (1) Product teams and startups in MEA that want Vercel-grade DX without sending customer data through Frankfurt or Virginia. (2) Enterprises and regulated buyers, banks, government, telcos, healthcare, bound by data-residency law in KSA, UAE, Egypt, Pakistan, Nigeria, South Africa. (3) Telco and DC partners sitting on GPU and fiber capacity who need a platform layer to monetize it under their own brand.
Sign up, push a repo, and you have a live app across 2 or 3 regions in minutes. No credit card required for initial exploration. Our console guides you through your first deployment, AI endpoint, or database.
Yes. Our APIs are designed to be drop-in for common workloads, our AI inference exposes an OpenAI-compatible surface, and our deploy flow follows the same `git push` ergonomics as Vercel. Our team can help plan and execute migrations with minimal downtime.
We are live and rolling out across MEA, Pakistan, KSA, UAE, Egypt, Nigeria, South Africa, and more. Workloads run live in 2 or 3 regions with automatic failover. Contact us for the up-to-date region map.
