A long-running budget media licence, popular with consultants and creators.
Estimate. Creative City does not publish a full price list. This figure is our own estimate rather than a rate confirmed by the authority: treat it as an order of magnitude and ask us for a firm quotation.
Our view
Creative City has issued low-cost media and consulting licences since 2007, long before SHAMS and Ajman Media City entered the segment. Its longevity gives it a slightly better reception than the newest budget zones, and its activity list covers consulting, marketing, IT and events alongside media.
It remains a Fujairah licence with the banking friction that implies.
