Our verdict

On our criteria, KEZAD wins for the most common profile. Abu Dhabi's industrial engine, wrapped around Khalifa Port.

That said, HFZA remains the right call if: oil and gas services, heavy manufacturing. Headline price should not decide this alone — visa quota and banking reception usually matter more.
