Why Choose Meydan Free Zone?

Meydan Free Zone is uniquely positioned within the luxurious Meydan Hotel complex, offering a premium business address that enhances your company's image. It is designed to be a hub for professional services, media, and investment companies, providing a highly efficient and streamlined setup process.

Unlike larger, more industrial free zones, Meydan focuses on creating a boutique business community. It offers all the essential benefits of other Dubai Free Zones, such as 100% ownership and zero tax, but with a strong emphasis on flexibility and professional networking. It is a smart choice for consultants who want to be close to the city's commercial centre. For a broader context, explore our main UAE Free Zones guide.
