A curious customer once walked into CryptoMiners’ Dubai showroom holding a mining device. He asked with wide-eyed sincerity, “Where do the coins come out?” For Majed Batal, Project Manager at CryptoMiners, the moment was both funny and telling. It revealed just how mysterious the world of crypto mining still feels to many people.
CryptoMiners has been working to change that. Founded in 2022, the company has quickly grown into one of the GCC’s first dedicated marketplaces for crypto mining equipment. Today, it supplies miners not only in the UAE but also across Africa, Europe, India, and Central Asia.
From machines to full solutions
CryptoMiners isn’t just about selling equipment. As Marketing Manager, Lama Shaker explained, “We provide full support before and after the sale. Our customers feel safe and ready.” The company offers all types of mining machines, from air-cooled rigs to hydro-cooled setups, and even builds systems locally.
For clients who cannot host equipment at home, CryptoMiners also provides turnkey hosting solutions. Customers can place their mining rigs in company-run facilities, where the team handles installation, maintenance, and cooling. “Even if clients are outside the UAE, they can still mine here through our hosting service,” Lama said.
What’s popular in Dubai’s mining scene?
The mining rigs of choice in the UAE are Antminer devices from Bitmain. They are efficient and relatively affordable. Whatsminer, another popular brand, is prized for its ability to handle the region’s extreme heat. “Antminer is more efficient, but Whatsminer is stronger and can withstand the climate here,” explained Majed.
Most customers use these machines to mine Bitcoin, still the most stable and dominant cryptocurrency. Dogecoin and Litecoin also remain in demand, though altcoin profitability fluctuates.
Facing challenges in hot climates
Running mining operations in the Middle East isn’t without its challenges. Dust, heat, humidity, and even insects can threaten expensive equipment. “Every country has its own obstacles,” Majed said. “In Russia, they deal with freezing temperatures. Here in the UAE, our challenge is dust and heat.”
To keep uptime high, CryptoMiners equips its facilities with strong cooling systems, filters, and humidity controls. For hotter regions such as the UAE or Ethiopia, the company often recommends hydro machines, which perform better in extreme conditions.

Dubai’s crypto-friendly advantage
Dubai’s openness to blockchain and Web3 adoption has given companies like CryptoMiners fertile ground to grow. The government has partnered with private players to promote digital assets, creating one of the most crypto-friendly environments in the world.
“As Dubai grows in crypto, more people and businesses want to mine coins,” Lama said. “We are ready to support this growth, whether it’s helping a beginner with a small setup or building a large mining farm.”
The path forward
Globally, the mining industry is facing increasing regulation. Countries like Russia and the United States have introduced taxes on mining. In contrast, the UAE remains tax-free for individual miners, which adds to its appeal.
Majed believes this balance of regulation and opportunity will shape the industry’s future. “It all depends on energy,” he noted. “Stable, affordable electricity is the key to keeping mining profitable. As long as we have that, the industry here will continue to grow.”
From guiding beginners with a $3,000 Bitcoin rig to building farms that can mine millions, CryptoMiners is positioning itself at the center of the digital gold rush. And if anyone still asks where the coins come out, the team is always ready with a smile and an explanation.
