Our verdict

On our criteria, RAKEZ wins for the most common profile. The best balance of price, breadth and credibility outside Dubai.

That said, UAQ FTZ remains the right call if: mixed trading and service activities, budget-conscious smes. Headline price should not decide this alone — visa quota and banking reception usually matter more.
