Free Zones

The Jebel Ali Free Zone and Dubai Airport Free Zone have been set up with the specific purpose of facilitating investment. Accordingly, the procedures for investing in the zones are relatively simple.

While the free zones are designed to complement and contribute to Dubai's growth and development, their legal status is quite distinct. Companies operating there are treated as being offshore, or outside the UAE for legal purposes.

The option of setting up in the free zones is therefore most suitable for companies intending to use Dubai as a regional manufacturing or distribution base and where most or all of their turnover is going to be outside the UAE.
