Freezone Dubai

Freezones in Dubai are essentially economic areas where goods and services can be traded, usually at preferential tax and customs rates.

SHAMS - Sharjah Media City Free Zone is the third largest free zone in the UAE and a hub for media and creative industries.

The businesses situated in the SHAMS benefit from state-of-the-art facilities, travel options and cutting-edge communication networks.

The UAE has been at the forefront when it comes to providing a supporting ecosystem for investors in the media industry. Emirates such as Ajman, Dubai, and Abu Dhabi have dedicated free zones for the media industry. Considering the low-cost and other benefits the investors get from company formation in Sharjah, Shams proves to be the ideal option for media businesses. By initiating the process of business setup in Shams, the investors will get the perfect platform to grow their media business.
