I would like to transfer Azure AD tenant location, currently its deployed to Europ (M365) and wish to change the location to UAE. I would like to know the impact that could create to the resources that are deployed in to it.

@SarinBarnabas-3550 • Thank you for reaching out.
The location of the Azure AD tenant cannot be changed after the tenant is created, as mentioned in the text highlighted below:

Are you referring to creating a new Azure AD tenant in UAE location and move the existing subscription to the new tenant?
If yes, please check Step 1: Prepare for the transfer section in Transfer an Azure subscription to a different Azure AD directory document.
Additionally, as highlighted above, if you select UAE, the datacenter location will be Europe. Azure Active Directory may store Azure AD data globally. This does not apply to Azure AD deployments in the United States (where Azure AD data is stored solely in the United States) and in Europe (where Azure AD data is stored in Europe or the United States). Please check Identity data storage for European customers in Azure Active Directory for more details.
