Dubai Silicon Oasis

DSO / DSOA

Tech, light industry, and a self-contained suburb with its own free zone.

Office: Offices, workshops, some retail
Visas: Package-based
Year-one feel: Usually below DMCC for a comparable desk

DSO is a free zone and a neighbourhood. Software firms, electronics, and light manufacturing sit next to apartments and Dubai Academic City. IFZA also operates from a campus here — they are not the same authority.

Good if the founder will live in DSO / Academic City / International City and does not need a Sheikh Zayed Road plaque.

IFZA packages sold ‘in Silicon Oasis’ are IFZA licences, not DSOA licences. Read the letterhead.

Ask a Dubai specialist

Jobs, visas, where to live, a company, or a property file. A person replies. The mailbox is not published here, and your note is not listed or sold.

We will never ask you to transfer money, share OTP codes, or send passport scans to “process a visa” or a licence. Confirm filings on DET, the free-zone authority, DLD and FTA.
