Why Dubai Datacenters Give 1ms Minecraft Latency

Dubai is uniquely positioned with excellent international links and local peering—this reduces hops and jitter. For players connected to UAE ISPs, a locally hosted server yields the fastest route and the smallest round-trip time.

Key technical reasons

• Local peering — IXPs in Dubai provide direct connections between ISPs and datacenters.
• Edge routing — optimized routes for GCC traffic.
• Low physical distance — fewer kilometers means lower latency.

What GigaNodes does differently

We use optimized BGP routes, NVMe-backed servers, and collaborate with local carriers to ensure sub-10ms latency across UAE and <1ms within certain metro hops.
