Our verdict

On our criteria, DIFC wins for the most common profile. An English common-law jurisdiction inside Dubai, for regulated finance and family offices.

That said, DHCC remains the right call if: clinics and medical centres, diagnostic and laboratory services. Headline price should not decide this alone — visa quota and banking reception usually matter more.
