Al Furjan is a fast-growing community of villas and low-rise apartments between Sheikh Zayed Road and Jebel Ali, now served by two Route 2020 metro stations. It is a convenient mainland base for SMEs and service businesses that want metro access and proximity to the Jebel Ali and JAFZA free zones without their cost.
Retail, clinics, nurseries, tutoring and owner-run service firms suit Al Furjan, which has a young, family-heavy population. A family visa is a common part of setting up here, alongside the Department of Economy and Tourism licence.
What should you know about Al Furjan?
Before you commit, these are the facts that decide how a company is licensed here and whether the property route to a Golden Visa is open to you: the ownership status, the licensing authority, where the local stock sits against the AED 2 million threshold, and how the area is reached. We confirm each of them for your exact plan before any fee is paid.
Why set up a company in Al Furjan?
The reasons that matter are the practical ones: what the licence lets you do, the visa allocation you get, the cost of the office or address the jurisdiction requires, and how quickly you can open a bank account and start invoicing. Here is where Al Furjan is genuinely strong for the kind of company most of our clients build, and where it is not the right fit.
