About Fujairah
Why Fujairah
As we tell every client, since the 2021 ownership reforms, most Fujairah mainland activities allow 100% foreign ownership, which removed the biggest objection business owners used to have. In our experience, fujairah is the UAE's east-coast gateway — shipping, bunkering and Indian Ocean trade, and GoldenKey registers mainland companies there with the economic department week in, week out. Architecture & Design in Fujairah means architectural design, urban planning and landscape architecture, and it is licensed as a professional activity. Day to day, typical examples of this activity include architecture studio, landscape design, urban planning and BIM services, which can in most cases sit together on one Fujairah licence.
Popular districts for a Fujairah mainland office include Fujairah City, Dibba, Al Faseel, Sakamkam and Qidfa, each with different rent levels and customer footfall. Importantly, among the strengths of a Fujairah mainland licence are direct Indian Ocean port access and World-class bunkering hub, which is why local service businesses gravitate here. For architecture & design, Fujairah offers the office options such a business actually needs and a visa quota that can grow with the team.
