DIFC (Dubai International Financial Center) is the largest business district in the region of the Middle East, Africa and South Asia. It is a special economic zone, where a large number of financial matters, including ones related to the rules for transactions, real estate and labour relations, are regulated by specific standards, as well as a special governing body and judicial authorities who operate there. A favourable environment has been created in DIFC for taxpayers and business development, and full ownership of real estate by foreign companies is also permitted. The conditions for renting offices and retail space at DIFC are among some of the best terms in Dubai. As a result, the offices of multiple large corporations and banks are located there.
Geographically, DIFC covers an area of 11,840,301 sq. ft just off the Sheikh Zayed Road. The district is adjacent to Downtown Dubai and is divided into three zones – commercial, residential and retail. The area is full of offices, residential properties, restaurants, art galleries, cafes and shops, and is perfect for those who are ready to live and work in the rhythm of the urban city. This district attracts qualified trade and finance professionals worldwide, as well as international business corporations and investors.
