Why the UAE

The dirham has been pegged to the US dollar since 1997, which removes currency risk for opening a perfume and cosmetics business in the UAE as a Saudi founder and makes international pricing simple. Crucially, since 2021, most mainland activities have allowed 100% foreign ownership, and free zones have always offered it, so opening a perfume and cosmetics business in the UAE as a Saudi founder no longer requires a local partner.
