What it is
The free zone built around digital commerce
Dubai CommerCity is a specialist free zone for e-commerce and digital trade. It combines offices, showrooms, and logistics space next to DXB airport, with licenses tailored to online retail, marketplaces, and digital services. You keep 100 percent ownership and operate from a hub banks, customs, and carriers already know.
