Consider elsewhere if

  • You need a large warehouse or a big plot
  • You hold goods for re-export and want free zone duty suspension

Mainland licensing

Our view for tenants

Al Qusais gives you smaller warehouses and workshops close to Dubai International Airport, the Sharjah border and the Dubai Metro Green Line. It suits businesses that deliver across Dubai and Sharjah every day. The area is busy and mixed with housing, so check truck access and loading arrangements.

Our view for investors

Warehouses and industrial units are listed for sale here (Bayut), so smaller assets do change hands. Public data on rents and building stock is limited, so underwriting needs local evidence.
