Building Saudi Arabia’s Premier Luxury Multi-Brand E-Commerce Experience
A Shopify Plus transformation focused on multilingual luxury retail, premium checkout experiences, and enterprise-grade scalability.
Explore ResultsWhat Was Holding Rubaiyat Back
Rubaiyat needed more than a storefront. It needed a world-class digital flagship capable of handling enterprise complexity while preserving the exclusivity and polish expected from a luxury destination.
Enterprise catalog complexity
Managing 1000+ luxury products across 50+ premium brands required sophisticated merchandising, variant logic, and scalable taxonomy.
True bilingual experience
The platform had to deliver a native-feeling Arabic RTL and English UX across navigation, collections, product pages, and checkout.
Luxury trust at checkout
Customers expected frictionless premium payments, including Apple Pay and BNPL options like Tabby and Tamara, without added complexity.
Operational scale & speed
Same-day delivery in Riyadh and Jeddah, real-time inventory visibility, and high site performance all had to work together seamlessly.

What Other Brands Can Learn
The Rubaiyat project shows how enterprise luxury commerce succeeds when brand experience, operations, and technology are engineered together.
Luxury UX must feel native in every language
For premium brands in the Middle East, Arabic should never feel like a translated layer. It should feel like a first-class retail experience from homepage to checkout.
Arabic RTL + English done rightPayment flexibility increases premium conversion
Luxury customers value convenience and confidence. When Apple Pay and BNPL are integrated elegantly, they reduce hesitation and unlock higher-value transactions.
