WCAG 2.2 level AA is the usual benchmark, and UAE government digital guidance points towards it.
- Enough colour contrast for text
- Every image has a useful text description
- Everything works with a keyboard
- Forms have clear labels and error messages
- Video has captions
Arabic and English together
Mark the language of each page and of each switch of language, keep the layout consistent when the language changes, choose an Arabic font that stays readable at small sizes, and test the Arabic version with a screen reader, not just the English one.
Test it
Run an automated check, then go through the key journeys, such as contact and checkout, using only a keyboard.
