Dubai · Free zone

Office space in Dubai Silicon Oasis

A self-contained technology park with offices, labs, light industrial units, housing, schools and retail, out past Academic City.

Free zone package pricing, materially below central Dubai Free zone licence

The district

Who is actually there.

Software companies, electronics and hardware businesses, R&D operations, IT services and a growing number of cost-conscious consultancies.

What it costs

Free zone package pricing, materially below central Dubai.

Market conditions

Published market rates, 2026. Outside DIFC this is currently a tenant's market: rent-free periods of three to six months are standard and extend to twelve on leases above 10,000 sq ft, and Business Bay landlords have been offering AED 150–300 per sq ft toward fit-out. Ask for both — they are negotiable and rarely volunteered.

Who leases here

Software companies, electronics and hardware businesses, R&D operations and cost-conscious consultancies.

Getting there

Well outside the centre, off Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road. No metro. A driving district with on-site housing that mitigates it.

Suits

Technology businesses with staff who live nearby, or that need lab and light-industrial space alongside offices.

Avoid if

Client-facing businesses that need visitors, or teams commuting from Marina and JLT daily.

Licensing route

DSO free zone licence, or DDA licence within the wider authority.

What an agent will not tell you. Genuinely cheaper than central Dubai and genuinely far from it — the commute is real and clients rarely visit. Excellent if your team lives nearby or works remotely; a daily argument if they do not. The on-site housing is a serious advantage for companies employing technical staff.

Questions

Considerably. It is a self-contained technology park with offices, labs and housing at a fraction of Business Bay or DIC pricing.

Far enough that the commute is a genuine consideration rather than a detail. There is no metro connection.

Yes — it is a technology park rather than an office district, so hardware, electronics and R&D operations can be accommodated on site.
