Jurisdictions

RAKEZ — Ras Al Khaimah Economic Zone

One of the UAE's largest and most cost-effective free zones outside Dubai — strong for trading, industrial, manufacturing and education activities, with dual free zone/mainland licensing options.

Price
from AED 6,000/year · Best for: manufacturing, industrial, general trading, education, budget-conscious founders wanting scale later

Fit

  • Yes, if: you need industrial/warehouse infrastructure at a lower cost than Dubai, or a recognised large free zone outside Dubai
  • Not the best fit, if: a Dubai address specifically matters for your brand or banking relationships — RAKEZ carries less of that recognition than DMCC/IFZA/Meydan

Activities

Trading, industrial, service and educational licences. RAKEZ also issues non-free-zone (mainland-equivalent) licences alongside its free zone products — a dual option most zones don't offer.

Final price depends on activity, structure and visa quota — request a fixed quote.
