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.

No, you are not required to lease a physical office. Meydan licenses are based on a flexi-desk or virtual office concept, which satisfies the legal requirement for a registered address and allows you to apply for visas.
The number of visas you are eligible for depends on the license package you choose. Packages are designed to be scalable, allowing you to increase your visa quota as your business grows.
Meydan is generally more cost-effective and has a much simpler and faster setup process than DMCC. While DMCC is a premium hub with a vast physical community, Meydan offers a prestigious address and greater flexibility, which is often more suitable for new consultancies and SMEs.
