Event Management in the UAE for Kenyans

Why Meydan Free Zone

Meydan Free Zone is located in Meydan, Dubai — 10 minutes from DIFC and Downtown Dubai, and the issuing authority's processing time for a standard file is around 5 working days. Just as important, the authority permits Free Zone Establishment (FZE) and Free Zone Company (FZCO), which covers solo founders, partnerships and overseas groups opening a UAE branch.
