The Instagram standings for UAE restaurants, cafés and bars.

Same four signals, every venue, every week.

Reactions are scored against the median for the venue’s own category and emirate, never an absolute number — so a 4,000-follower café and a 90,000-follower beach club are comparable. The score is deterministic: the same page always produces the same number. AI writes the explanation, never the score.

We publish the top 20 only, and show upward movement and new entries. If you’d rather your venue wasn’t listed, message us and it comes off, permanently, no questions.

What you get back

A rank is the headline. Underneath it you get the same four signals scored separately, so you can see which one is costing you places — and what to do about it, in plain words.

Every board we publish

Looking for what a healthy account scores in your industry rather than your rank? That lives in the Instagram benchmarks.

Your venue’s monthly marketing team, without hiring one.

We’ve run hospitality marketing in the UAE for 10 years. If your rank isn’t where you want it, we run your whole month — content, posting, paid ads — for one flat monthly fee, so you’re not hiring and managing it yourself.
