There are 45 free zones in the UAE, a little more than 10 reliable and popular, all of them can be found on the website of the Ministry of Economy of the UAE

All free zones provide the same tax conditions and opportunities. The differences in the zones are rather informal, since each zone concentrates on certain types of activities and creates conditions for conducting such activities. For example, there are Scientific or Healthcare zones where research centers, laboratories, and medical centers are being built, which allows attracting companies from the medical or healthcare sector.

Universal zones do not have a narrow specialization and create conditions and opportunities for conducting any business

The comparative table below shows only the most popular universal zones and those that give the best opportunities. More highly specialized zones and the entire list of all zones can be found on the website of the Ministry of Economy of the UAE.
