About Meydan Free Zone
Why Meydan Free Zone

Typical examples of this activity include medical device distribution, pharmacy supply, consumables trading and medical equipment, which can generally sit together on one Meydan Free Zone licence.
As we tell every client, office options in Meydan Free Zone range from virtual office, flexi-desk or office suite, so you only pay for the space your visa quota actually needs.
