Our verdict

On our criteria, SAIF Zone wins for the most common profile. An established trading and light-industrial zone at Sharjah Airport.

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.
