Our verdict
On our criteria, Dubai South wins for the most common profile. Logistics-ready licences at a fraction of JAFZA prices, next to Al Maktoum International and Expo City.
That said, CommerCity remains the right call if: online retailers holding uae inventory, regional d2c brands. Headline price should not decide this alone — visa quota and banking reception usually matter more.
