Free zones in Dubai are designated areas within the city that allow foreigners to carry out business activities without the need for a local sponsor.
There are several different free zones in Dubai, each with its own specific set of rules and regulations. Some free zones are aimed at specific industries, while others are more general in nature. Most free zones offer a range of benefits to businesses operating within them, including tax exemptions, 100% foreign ownership, and simplified licensing procedures.
Some of the most popular free zones in Dubai include the Jebel Ali Free Zone (JAFZA), Dubai Media City, and the Dubai Internet City. JAFZA is by far the largest free zone in Dubai, with over 7,000 companies registered within its borders.
