Our verdict

On our criteria, DMCC wins for the most common profile. The prestige address in Jumeirah Lake Towers, with the strongest reception from banks.

That said, JAFZA remains the right call if: import/export and distribution, light manufacturing and assembly. Headline price should not decide this alone — visa quota and banking reception usually matter more.
