- Often compared with Shams and Ajman Media City on price
- Fujairah address — further from Dubai physically and in brand perception
- Dubai Setup Index does not currently offer this as a primary setup option

## Frequently asked questions

### Does Dubai Setup Index set up companies in Creative City Free Zone (Fujairah)?

Not currently. We document this zone so you can compare it honestly, while Dubai Setup Index handles applications in IFZA and Ajman.

### Is a free zone the same as mainland DET?

No. Free zones license under their own authority. A Dubai mainland company is licensed by DET and normally needs Ejari-registered premises.
